The compound described by Y3(CoGe2)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. There are two inequivalent Y sites. In the first Y site, Y(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Co(1), three equivalent Ge(2), and five equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second Y site, Y(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1) and six equivalent Ge(2) atoms. Co(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y(1), one Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Y(2), five equivalent Y(1), three equivalent Co(1), and one Ge(1) atom. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y(1), three equivalent Y(2), one Co(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
