NiGe3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Ni(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form NiGe12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Ni(1)Ge12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent Ge(1)Ni4Ge8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Ni(1)Ge12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Ge(1)Ni4Ge8 cuboctahedra. Ge(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ni(1) and eight equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form GeNi4Ge8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Ge(1)Ni4Ge8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Ni(1)Ge12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent Ge(1)Ni4Ge8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Ni(1)Ge12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent Ge(1)Ni4Ge8 cuboctahedra.
