The compound described by La2PtPd3Ge4 crystallizes in the tetragonal P-4m2 space group. La(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pt(1), two equivalent Pd(1), two equivalent Pd(2), two equivalent Pd(3), four equivalent Ge(1), and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the third Pd site, Pd(3) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1), two equivalent Pt(1), two equivalent Pd(2), and one Ge(2) atom. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1), two equivalent Pd(1), two equivalent Pd(3), and one Ge(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
