The structure described by Ca2Ge is Cotunnite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Ca sites. In the first Ca site, Ca(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing CaGe4 tetrahedra. In the second Ca site, Ca(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ca(1) and five equivalent Ca(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
