The structure described by Mn3(Co2Ge3)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmm2 space group. There are two inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn(1) is bonded to one Ge(2), one Ge(3), and six equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MnGe8 hexagonal bipyramids. In the second Mn site, Mn(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co(1), two equivalent Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(2), and two equivalent Ge(4) atoms. There are three inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mn(2), two equivalent Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(2), and two equivalent Ge(4) atoms. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(3), and two equivalent Ge(4) atoms. In the third Co site, Co(3) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(3), and two equivalent Ge(4) atoms. There are four inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mn(2), three equivalent Mn(1), one Co(1), one Co(3), and two equivalent Co(2) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Mn(1), four equivalent Mn(2), two equivalent Co(1), and one Ge(3) atom. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Mn(1), two equivalent Co(3), four equivalent Co(2), and one Ge(2) atom. In the fourth Ge site, Ge(4) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mn(2), one Co(1), one Co(3), and two equivalent Co(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
