The crystal structure described by MgGe3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imm2 space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ge(2) and six equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mg(1), one Ge(2), and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
