The structure described by Ni8B3Ge2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. There are five inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one B(1) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one B(1), three equivalent B(2), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the third Ni site, Ni(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent B(1) and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the fourth Ni site, Ni(4) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent B(2) and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the fifth Ni site, Ni(5) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one B(2), two equivalent B(1), and one Ge(1) atom. There are two inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Ni(1), two equivalent Ni(2), two equivalent Ni(3), and four equivalent Ni(5) atoms. In the second B site, B(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Ni(5), three equivalent Ni(2), three equivalent Ni(4), and two equivalent B(2) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Ni(3), one Ni(5), two equivalent Ni(1), two equivalent Ni(2), and three equivalent Ni(4) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
