LaGe2 is hexagonal omega structure-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. La(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing LaGe12 cuboctahedra. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La(1) and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms.
LaGe2 is hexagonal omega structure-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. La(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing LaGe12 cuboctahedra. There are eight shorter (3.32 Å) and four longer (3.41 Å) La(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La(1) and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.54 Å) and one longer (2.58 Å) Ge(1)-Ge(1) bond length.
