The compound described by Li(TmGe2)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tm(2), one Ge(3), two equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Tm sites. In the first Tm site, Tm(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(2), two equivalent Ge(3), and four equivalent Ge(4) atoms. In the second Tm site, Tm(2) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1), two equivalent Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(2), two equivalent Ge(4), and four equivalent Ge(3) atoms. There are four inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1), two equivalent Tm(1), and two equivalent Tm(2) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1), two equivalent Tm(1), and two equivalent Tm(2) atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Li(1), two equivalent Tm(1), four equivalent Tm(2), and two equivalent Ge(4) atoms. In the fourth Ge site, Ge(4) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Tm(2), four equivalent Tm(1), and two equivalent Ge(3) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
