The structure described by Nd2Co3Ge5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ibam space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(3) and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Ge(2), two equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1) and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Co(2), two equivalent Co(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd(1), one Co(1), two equivalent Co(2), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd(1) and four equivalent Co(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
