The crystal structure described by Nb3V3Ge2 crystallizes in the trigonal R32 space group. Nb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. V(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nb(1) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded to six equivalent Nb(1) and six equivalent V(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing GeNb6V6 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
