The material described by Y3Ge6N11 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4bm space group. There are two inequivalent Y sites. In the first Y site, Y(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one N(4), two equivalent N(1), and two equivalent N(2) atoms. In the second Y site, Y(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent N(1) and four equivalent N(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded to one N(2), one N(3), and two equivalent N(1) atoms to form corner-sharing GeN4 tetrahedra. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded to one N(3), one N(4), and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form corner-sharing GeN4 tetrahedra. There are four inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ge(2) and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second N site, N(4) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Y(1) and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the third N site, N(1) is bonded to one Y(1), one Y(2), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NY2Ge2 trigonal pyramids. In the fourth N site, N(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Y(1), one Y(2), one Ge(1), and one Ge(2) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
