The material described by Mo5Ge3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. There are three inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo(1), two equivalent Ge(1), and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Mo site, Mo(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(2) and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the third Mo site, Mo(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Ge(1) and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo(3), three equivalent Mo(2), and four equivalent Mo(1) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Mo(2), four equivalent Mo(1), and four equivalent Mo(3) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
