The material structure described by Li3Ce5Ge4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. There are three inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ce(3) and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Li(3), two equivalent Ce(3), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the third Li site, Li(3) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(2), two equivalent Ce(1), and two equivalent Ce(5) atoms. There are five inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(3), two equivalent Ce(3), and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second Ce site, Ce(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ge(1) and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the third Ce site, Ce(3) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1), two equivalent Li(2), two equivalent Ce(1), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the fourth Ce site, Ce(4) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ge(1) and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the fifth Ce site, Ce(5) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(3) and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Li(2), one Ce(3), two equivalent Ce(1), two equivalent Ce(2), two equivalent Ce(4), and one Ge(2) atom. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Li(1), two equivalent Ce(2), two equivalent Ce(4), two equivalent Ce(5), one Ge(1), and one Ge(2) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
