URh2Ge2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. U(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rh(1), four equivalent Rh(2), four equivalent Ge(1), and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Rh sites. In the first Rh site, Rh(1) is bonded to four equivalent U(1) and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms to form distorted RhU4Ge4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Ge(1)U4Rh4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Ge(1)U4Rh4 tetrahedra, edges with four equivalent Rh(1)U4Ge4 tetrahedra, and faces with four equivalent Rh(1)U4Ge4 tetrahedra. In the second Rh site, Rh(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent U(1), one Ge(2), and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded to four equivalent U(1) and four equivalent Rh(2) atoms to form distorted GeU4Rh4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Rh(1)U4Ge4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Rh(1)U4Ge4 tetrahedra, edges with four equivalent Ge(1)U4Rh4 tetrahedra, and faces with four equivalent Ge(1)U4Rh4 tetrahedra. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent U(1), one Rh(2), and four equivalent Rh(1) atoms.
