Nb6GaGe crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. Nb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nb(1), two equivalent Ga(1), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Ga(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Nb(1) atoms to form GaNb12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Ga(1)Nb12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Ge(1)Nb12 cuboctahedra. Ge(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Nb(1) atoms to form GeNb12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Ge(1)Nb12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Ga(1)Nb12 cuboctahedra.
Nb6GaGe crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. Nb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nb(1), two equivalent Ga(1), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.54 Å) and one longer (2.64 Å) Nb(1)-Nb(1) bond length. Both Nb(1)-Ga(1) bond lengths are 2.91 Å. Both Nb(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 2.89 Å. Ga(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Nb(1) atoms to form GaNb12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Ga(1)Nb12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Ge(1)Nb12 cuboctahedra. Ge(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Nb(1) atoms to form GeNb12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Ge(1)Nb12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Ga(1)Nb12 cuboctahedra.
