The compound described by Sm2Co3Ge5 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Sm(1) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(2), two equivalent Ge(3), and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Ge(1), one Ge(2), one Ge(4), and two equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Ge(2), one Ge(4), and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are four inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sm(1), one Co(1), two equivalent Co(2), one Ge(2), and one Ge(4) atom. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sm(1), one Co(2), two equivalent Co(1), two equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(4) atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sm(1) and four equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the fourth Ge site, Ge(4) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Co(2), two equivalent Co(1), two equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
