TiRhGe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ima2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ti sites. In the first Ti site, Ti is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rh and five Ge atoms. Both Ti–Rh bond lengths are 2.87 Å. There are two shorter (2.67 Å) and three longer (2.68 Å) Ti–Ge bond lengths. In the second Ti site, Ti is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four Rh and five Ge atoms. There are two shorter (2.81 Å) and two longer (2.86 Å) Ti–Rh bond lengths. There are a spread of Ti–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.67–2.80 Å. In the third Ti site, Ti is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six Rh and five Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ti–Rh bond distances ranging from 2.77–2.90 Å. There are a spread of Ti–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.69–2.96 Å. There are two inequivalent Rh sites. In the first Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four Ti and four Ge atoms. There are two shorter (2.52 Å) and two longer (2.53 Å) Rh–Ge bond lengths. In the second Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four Ti and four Ge atoms. There are a spread of Rh–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.51–2.53 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three Ti and six Rh atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Ti and three Rh atoms.
