The material structure described by Li3GeO4 is Theoretical Carbon Structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), and two equivalent O(1) atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Li(2)O4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Li(2)O4 tetrahedra. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), and two equivalent O(1) atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra. Ge(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), and two equivalent O(1) atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(2)O4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Li(2), two equivalent Li(1), and one Ge(1) atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi3Ge tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to one Li(2), two equivalent Li(1), and one Ge(1) atom to form corner-sharing OLi3Ge tetrahedra. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded to one Li(2), two equivalent Li(1), and one Ge(1) atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi3Ge trigonal pyramids. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
