The material structure described by Li5GeP3 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. There are five inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ge(1), one P(1), one P(3), and two equivalent P(2) atoms. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded to one P(1), one P(3), and two equivalent P(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing LiP4 tetrahedra. In the third Li site, Li(3) is bonded to one P(2), one P(3), and two equivalent P(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing LiP4 tetrahedra. In the fourth Li site, Li(4) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Ge(1), one P(2), one P(3), and two equivalent P(1) atoms. In the fifth Li site, Li(5) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ge(1), one P(1), one P(2), and two equivalent P(3) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Li(1), one Li(4), one Li(5), one P(1), one P(2), and one P(3) atom. There are three inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to one Li(1), one Li(2), one Li(5), two equivalent Li(3), two equivalent Li(4), and one Ge(1) atom. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to one Li(3), one Li(4), one Li(5), two equivalent Li(1), two equivalent Li(2), and one Ge(1) atom. In the third P site, P(3) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Li(1), one Li(2), one Li(3), one Li(4), two equivalent Li(5), and one Ge(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
