The structure described by Er3(RhGe)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcm space group. There are two inequivalent Er sites. In the first Er site, Er(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rh(1), two equivalent Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second Er site, Er(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rh(1), two equivalent Ge(1), and three equivalent Ge(2) atoms. Rh(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er(1), four equivalent Er(2), one Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Er(1), four equivalent Er(2), and two equivalent Rh(1) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er(1), six equivalent Er(2), and four equivalent Rh(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
