The compound described by V3GeN crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ge(1) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to three equivalent Ge(1) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1) and six equivalent V(2) atoms. N(1) is bonded to two equivalent V(1) and four equivalent V(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NV6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 21°. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
