Materials Data on ThGe2 by Materials Project
ThGe2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th is bonded to twelve equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and face-sharing ThGe12 cuboctahedra. There are eight shorter (3.18 Å) and four longer (3.51 Å) Th–Ge bond lengths. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Th and three equivalent Ge atoms. There are two shorter (2.54 Å) and one longer (2.69 Å) Ge–Ge bond lengths.
