The material described by Yb3Ge5 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ge(1) and six 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 six equivalent Yb(1) and three equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
