The structure described by PbGe4O9 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. Pb(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one O(5), two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(3) and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Ge(3)O6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent Ge(2)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 62°. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(4), and one O(5) atom to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Ge(3)O6 octahedra,  a cornercorner with one Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra, and  a cornercorner with one Ge(2)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 58-59°. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form corner-sharing GeO6 octahedra. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ge(2) and one Ge(3) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Pb(1), one Ge(2), and one Ge(3) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Pb(1), one Ge(1), and one Ge(3) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Pb(1), one Ge(1), and one Ge(2) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Pb(1) and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
