The material structure described by LaNiGe3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4mm space group. La(1) is bonded in a 17-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ni(1), four equivalent Ge(2), and eight equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent La(1), one Ge(2), and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1), two equivalent Ni(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1), one Ni(1), and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
