The compound described by NdVGe3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Nd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form distorted NdGe12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Nd(1)Ge12 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent V(1)Ge6 octahedra, faces with eight equivalent Nd(1)Ge12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent V(1)Ge6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 28°. V(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form VGe6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Nd(1)Ge12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Nd(1)Ge12 cuboctahedra, and faces with two equivalent V(1)Ge6 octahedra. Ge(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd(1), two equivalent V(1), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
