The structure described by YbNiGe2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. There are two inequivalent Yb sites. In the first Yb site, Yb(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(1), two equivalent Ni(2), one Ge(1), one Ge(2), four equivalent Ge(3), and four equivalent Ge(4) atoms. In the second Yb site, Yb(2) is bonded in a 15-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ni(1), three equivalent Ni(2), one Ge(3), two equivalent Ge(4), three equivalent Ge(1), and three equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1), three equivalent Yb(2), one Ge(3), one Ge(4), and three equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1), three equivalent Yb(2), one Ge(3), one Ge(4), and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are four inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Yb(1), three equivalent Yb(2), three equivalent Ni(2), and one Ge(2) atom. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Yb(1), three equivalent Yb(2), three equivalent Ni(1), and one Ge(1) atom. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Yb(2), four equivalent Yb(1), one Ni(1), and one Ni(2) atom. In the fourth Ge site, Ge(4) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(2), four equivalent Yb(1), one Ni(1), one Ni(2), and one Ge(4) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
