The structure described by BGe3O8NH4 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure consists of two ammonium molecules inside a BGe3O8 framework. In the BGe3O8 framework, B(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(6) atom to form BO4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra,  a cornercorner with one Ge(3)O4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent Ge(2)O4 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(4), one O(5), and one O(8) atom to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one B(1)O4 tetrahedra,  a cornercorner with one Ge(2)O4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent Ge(3)O4 tetrahedra. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded to one O(3), one O(6), one O(7), and one O(8) atom to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra,  a cornercorner with one Ge(3)O4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent B(1)O4 tetrahedra. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded to one O(1), one O(4), one O(5), and one O(7) atom to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one B(1)O4 tetrahedra,  a cornercorner with one Ge(2)O4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra. There are eight inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(8) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ge(1) and one Ge(2) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one B(1) and one Ge(3) atom. In the third O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one B(1) and one Ge(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(3) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one B(1) and one Ge(2) atom. In the fifth O site, O(4) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ge(1) and one Ge(3) atom. In the sixth O site, O(5) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ge(1) and one Ge(3) atom. In the seventh O site, O(6) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one B(1) and one Ge(2) atom. In the eighth O site, O(7) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ge(2) and one Ge(3) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
