The structure described by BaGe5 is Magnesium tetraboride-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 15-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ge(1), four equivalent Ge(2), and eight equivalent Ge(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1), one Ge(1), and three equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ba(1), two equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1), three equivalent Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(3) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
