The compound described by Li4Yb5Ge4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/m space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Yb sites. In the first Yb site, Yb(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second Yb site, Yb(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1), one Yb(2), and five equivalent Yb(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
