The compound described by LiAlGeO5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. Li(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), and one O(5) atom to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Al(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with three equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra. Al(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra. Ge(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent Al(1)O4 tetrahedra. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Al(1) and one Ge(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Al(1), and one Ge(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Al(1), and one Ge(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Al(1), and one Ge(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Li(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
