The compound described by Zr3Ge6N11 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4bm space group. There are two inequivalent Zr sites. In the first Zr site, Zr(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one N(3), one N(4), two equivalent N(1), and two equivalent N(2) atoms. In the second Zr site, Zr(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent N(1) and four equivalent N(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded to one N(2), one N(3), and two equivalent N(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing GeN4 tetrahedra. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one N(3), one N(4), and two equivalent N(2) atoms. There are four inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(3) is bonded to one Zr(1), one Ge(2), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NZrGe3 trigonal pyramids. In the second N site, N(4) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Zr(1) and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the third N site, N(1) is bonded to one Zr(1), one Zr(2), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form distorted NZr2Ge2 trigonal pyramids that share corners with six equivalent N(2)Zr2Ge2 tetrahedra,  a cornercorner with one N(3)ZrGe3 trigonal pyramid, corners with two equivalent N(1)Zr2Ge2 trigonal pyramids,  an edgeedge with one N(2)Zr2Ge2 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one N(3)ZrGe3 trigonal pyramid, and edges with two equivalent N(1)Zr2Ge2 trigonal pyramids. In the fourth N site, N(2) is bonded to one Zr(1), one Zr(2), one Ge(1), and one Ge(2) atom to form distorted NZr2Ge2 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent N(2)Zr2Ge2 tetrahedra,  a cornercorner with one N(3)ZrGe3 trigonal pyramid, corners with six equivalent N(1)Zr2Ge2 trigonal pyramids,  an edgeedge with one N(2)Zr2Ge2 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one N(1)Zr2Ge2 trigonal pyramid, and  an edgeedge with one N(3)ZrGe3 trigonal pyramid. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
