The compound described by Ni3Ge is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Ni(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form NiNi8Ge4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Ni(1)Ni8Ge4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Ge(1)Ni12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent Ni(1)Ni8Ge4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Ge(1)Ni12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent Ni(1)Ni8Ge4 cuboctahedra. Ge(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form GeNi12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Ge(1)Ni12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent Ni(1)Ni8Ge4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Ge(1)Ni12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Ni(1)Ni8Ge4 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
