The structure described by Sc2V3Ge4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Sc(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Ge(2), two equivalent Ge(1), and four equivalent Ge(3) atoms. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(2), and two equivalent Ge(3) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing VGe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-55°. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sc(1), two equivalent V(1), two equivalent V(2), and one Ge(2) atom. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sc(1), two equivalent V(1), four equivalent V(2), and one Ge(1) atom. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sc(1), one V(1), three equivalent V(2), and one Ge(3) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
