The crystal structure described by LiYbGe2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1) and three equivalent Ge(2) atoms. Yb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ge(2) and five 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 Li(1), five equivalent Yb(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1), four equivalent Yb(1), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
