The material described by Co3Ge6N11 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4bm space group. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent N(1) and four equivalent N(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded to one N(2), one N(3), and two equivalent N(1) atoms to form corner-sharing GeN4 tetrahedra. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded to one N(3), one N(4), and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing GeN4 trigonal pyramids. There are four inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(3) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Ge(2) and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second N site, N(4) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the third N site, N(1) is bonded to one Co(1), one Co(2), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NCo2Ge2 tetrahedra. In the fourth N site, N(2) is bonded to one Co(1), one Co(2), one Ge(1), and one Ge(2) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NCo2Ge2 tetrahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
