The structure described by Yb2PdGe6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. There are two inequivalent Yb sites. In the first Yb site, Yb(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(2), two equivalent Ge(4), two equivalent Ge(5), and four equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the second Yb site, Yb(2) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd(1), two equivalent Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(3), two equivalent Ge(6), and four equivalent Ge(4) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(2), one Ge(4), two equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(6) atoms. There are six inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(2), two equivalent Pd(1), one Ge(2), and four equivalent Ge(6) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1), one Ge(1), and four equivalent Ge(5) atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(2), four equivalent Yb(1), and two equivalent Ge(4) atoms. In the fourth Ge site, Ge(4) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1), four equivalent Yb(2), one Pd(1), and two equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the fifth Ge site, Ge(5) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1), one Ge(6), and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the sixth Ge site, Ge(6) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(2), two equivalent Pd(1), one Ge(5), and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
