The crystal structure described by Ge3Rh5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. There are three inequivalent Rh sites. In the first Rh site, Rh(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Ge(2) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second Rh site, Rh(2) is bonded to two equivalent Ge(2) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing RhGe6 tetrahedra. In the third Rh site, Rh(3) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(2) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rh(3), four equivalent Rh(1), and four equivalent Rh(2) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to two equivalent Rh(1), two equivalent Rh(3), and four equivalent Rh(2) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
