The material structure described by Pd5Ge crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. There are four inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Pd(2) and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to one Pd(1), two equivalent Pd(3), three equivalent Pd(2), four equivalent Pd(4), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the third Pd site, Pd(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent Pd(2) and one Ge(1) atom. In the fourth Pd site, Pd(4) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to eight equivalent Pd(2) and one Ge(1) atom. Ge(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Pd(3), one Pd(4), two equivalent Pd(1), and four equivalent Pd(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
