The structure described by Er2MnGe4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. There are two inequivalent Er sites. In the first Er site, Er(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(3), two equivalent Ge(4), and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Er site, Er(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(2), two equivalent Ge(3), two equivalent Ge(4), and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Mn(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one 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 distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Er(1), four equivalent Er(2), one Mn(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er(2), four equivalent Er(1), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er(1), two equivalent Er(2), and two equivalent Mn(1) atoms. In the fourth Ge site, Ge(4) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er(1), two equivalent Er(2), and two equivalent Mn(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
