The material described by CdGe3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Cd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CdGe12 cuboctahedra. Ge(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
