Materials Data on Yb(ZnGe)2 by Materials Project

Yb(ZnGe)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Zn and eight equivalent Ge atoms. All Yb–Zn bond lengths are 3.45 Å. All Yb–Ge bond lengths are 3.23 Å. Zn is bonded to four equivalent Yb and four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing ZnYb4Ge4 tetrahedra. All Zn–Ge bond lengths are 2.58 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb, four equivalent Zn, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.49 Å.
