The material structure described by Yb2CdGe2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cd(1) and six equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Yb(1) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing CdYb8Ge4 cuboctahedra. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb(1), two equivalent Cd(1), and one Ge(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
