The compound described by ZnGe is beta beryllia-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pca2_1 space group. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ge(1) and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms to form corner-sharing ZnGe4 tetrahedra. In the second Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded to two equivalent Ge(1) and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms to form corner-sharing ZnGe4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded to two equivalent Zn(1) and two equivalent Zn(2) atoms to form corner-sharing GeZn4 tetrahedra. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded to two equivalent Zn(1) and two equivalent Zn(2) atoms to form corner-sharing GeZn4 tetrahedra. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
