OsGe2 is Magnesium tetraboride-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Os(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ge(1) and five equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Os(1) and one Ge(1) atom. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Os(1) atoms.
OsGe2 is Magnesium tetraboride-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Os(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ge(1) and five equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two shorter (2.51 Å) and one longer (2.60 Å) Os(1)-Ge(1) bond length. There are a spread of Os(1)-Ge(2) bond distances ranging from 2.58-2.69 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Os(1) and one Ge(1) atom. The Ge(1)-Ge(1) bond length is 2.39 Å. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Os(1) atoms.
