The compound described by W5Ge3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. There are two inequivalent W sites. In the first W site, W(2) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to two equivalent Ge(2) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second W site, W(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(2) and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent W(2), six equivalent W(1), and one Ge(1) atom. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent W(2) and eight equivalent W(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
