Nb3Ge crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/n space group. There are three inequivalent Nb sites. In the first Nb site, Nb(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second Nb site, Nb(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the third Nb site, Nb(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nb(1), three equivalent Nb(3), and four equivalent Nb(2) atoms.
Nb3Ge crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/n space group. There are three inequivalent Nb sites. In the first Nb site, Nb(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.66 Å) and one longer (2.70 Å) Nb(1)-Ge(1) bond length. In the second Nb site, Nb(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are a spread of Nb(2)-Ge(1) bond distances ranging from 2.63-2.73 Å. In the third Nb site, Nb(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are a spread of Nb(3)-Ge(1) bond distances ranging from 2.62-2.89 Å. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nb(1), three equivalent Nb(3), and four equivalent Nb(2) atoms.
