The compound described by Li2(TmGe)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Li(1) is bonded to four equivalent Tm(1), one Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing LiTm4Ge4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent Tm sites. In the first Tm site, Tm(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1), two equivalent Ge(2), and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second Tm site, Tm(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1) and three equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1), one Tm(2), four equivalent Tm(1), and one Ge(1) atom. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1), three equivalent Tm(2), and four equivalent Tm(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
