Mg3Ge crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine equivalent Mg(1) atoms.
Mg3Ge crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.78 Å) and two longer (2.86 Å) Mg(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine equivalent Mg(1) atoms.
