The material described by Be2Nd2GeO7 crystallizes in the tetragonal P-42_1m space group. Be(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form BeO4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Be(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra. Nd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(1), three equivalent O(2), and four equivalent O(3) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(3) atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Be(1)O4 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Be(1) and two equivalent Nd(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Be(1) and three equivalent Nd(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Be(1), two equivalent Nd(1), and one Ge(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
