The material structure described by Re3Ge7 is Magnesium tetraboride-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. There are two inequivalent Re sites. In the first Re site, Re(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(4), three equivalent Ge(1), and four equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the second Re site, Re(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Ge(3), two equivalent Ge(4), and five equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are four inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Re(1) and four equivalent Ge(4) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Re(2) atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Re(2), two equivalent Re(1), and three equivalent Ge(4) atoms. In the fourth Ge site, Ge(4) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Re(1), two equivalent Re(2), two equivalent Ge(1), and three equivalent Ge(3) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
