ZrVGe crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Zr(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent V(1) and five equivalent Ge(1) atoms. V(1) is bonded to four equivalent Zr(1), four equivalent V(1), and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing VZr4V4Ge4 cuboctahedra. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Zr(1) and four equivalent V(1) atoms.
ZrVGe crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Zr(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent V(1) and five equivalent Ge(1) atoms. All Zr(1)-V(1) bond lengths are 3.17 Å. There are four shorter (2.74 Å) and one longer (2.87 Å) Zr(1)-Ge(1) bond length. V(1) is bonded to four equivalent Zr(1), four equivalent V(1), and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing VZr4V4Ge4 cuboctahedra. All V(1)-V(1) bond lengths are 2.64 Å. All V(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 2.62 Å. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Zr(1) and four equivalent V(1) atoms.
