The material described by Ba2Ge3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imm2 space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ge(1), three equivalent Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ba(1), one Ge(2), and two equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ba(1) and one Ge(1) atom. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
