Zr(GeO3)3N2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. The structure consists of four ammonia atoms inside a Zr(GeO3)3 framework. In the Zr(GeO3)3 framework, Zr(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form ZrO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra. Ge(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Zr(1)O6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 34°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zr(1) and one Ge(1) atom.

In the Zr(GeO3)3 framework, Zr(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form ZrO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra. All Zr(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.10 Å. Ge(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Zr(1)O6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 34°. Both Ge(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.75 Å. There is one shorter (1.77 Å) and one longer (1.78 Å) Ge(1)-O(2) bond length. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zr(1) and one Ge(1) atom.
