Nb3Mo3SnGe crystallizes in the trigonal R3 space group. Nb(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo(1), two equivalent Sn(1), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Mo(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nb(1), two equivalent Sn(1), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded to six equivalent Nb(1) and six equivalent Mo(1) atoms to form SnNb6Mo6 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Sn(1)Nb6Mo6 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Ge(1)Nb6Mo6 cuboctahedra. Ge(1) is bonded to six equivalent Nb(1) and six equivalent Mo(1) atoms to form GeNb6Mo6 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Ge(1)Nb6Mo6 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Sn(1)Nb6Mo6 cuboctahedra.
