The compound described by K3LiGe4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent K sites. In the first K site, K(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Ge(3), two equivalent Ge(1), and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second K site, K(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(3), and three equivalent Ge(2) atoms. Li(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(2), and two equivalent Ge(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K(1), two equivalent K(2), two equivalent Li(1), one Ge(3), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K(1), three equivalent K(2), one Li(1), one Ge(1), one Ge(2), and one Ge(3) atom. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one K(1), four equivalent K(2), two equivalent Li(1), one Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
