The compound described by Zr(CoGe)6 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. Zr(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Co(1), two equivalent Ge(2), and six equivalent Ge(3) atoms to form distorted face-sharing ZrCo12Ge8 hexagonal bipyramids. Co(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Zr(1), four equivalent Co(1), 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 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Zr(1), six equivalent Co(1), and one Ge(2) atom. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Zr(1) and six equivalent Co(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
