The material described by Tm5Ge3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. There are two inequivalent Tm sites. In the first Tm site, Tm(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second Tm site, Tm(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tm(1) and five equivalent Tm(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
