The structure described by YbPdGe2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. There are two inequivalent Yb sites. In the first Yb site, Yb(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd(1), two equivalent Ge(3), four equivalent Ge(1), and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Yb site, Yb(2) is bonded in a 15-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1), one Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(2), and six equivalent Ge(3) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1), three equivalent Yb(2), one Ge(1), one Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Yb(2), four equivalent Yb(1), and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(2), four equivalent Yb(1), two equivalent Pd(1), and one Ge(2) atom. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Yb(1), three equivalent Yb(2), three equivalent Pd(1), and one Ge(3) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
