VGeN2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. V(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N(1) and three equivalent N(2) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one N(2) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1) and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent V(1) and one Ge(1) atom.
VGeN2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. V(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N(1) and three equivalent N(2) atoms. There is one shorter (1.80 Å) and one longer (2.65 Å) V(1)-N(1) bond length. There are two shorter (1.90 Å) and one longer (1.98 Å) V(1)-N(2) bond length. Ge(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one N(2) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. The Ge(1)-N(2) bond length is 1.98 Å. Both Ge(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.07 Å. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1) and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent V(1) and one Ge(1) atom.
