The crystal structure described by Y2CdGe2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cd(1) and six equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Y(1) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CdY8Ge4 cuboctahedra. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y(1), two equivalent Cd(1), and one Ge(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
