The crystal structure described by Tm3Ge is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Tm(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Tm(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing GeTm12 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
