LiBaGe2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(2) and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Ba(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ge(1) and five equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1), four equivalent Ba(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1), five equivalent Ba(1), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms.
LiBaGe2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(2) and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Both Li(1)-Ge(2) bond lengths are 2.90 Å. There is one shorter (2.73 Å) and two longer (2.83 Å) Li(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths. Ba(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ge(1) and five equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two shorter (3.40 Å) and two longer (3.56 Å) Ba(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths. There are a spread of Ba(1)-Ge(2) bond distances ranging from 3.42-3.60 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1), four equivalent Ba(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.47 Å) and one longer (2.54 Å) Ge(1)-Ge(2) bond length. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1), five equivalent Ba(1), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms.
