Li La Ge Ge
LiLaGe2 is alpha Niobium phosphide-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one LiLaGe2 cluster. Li(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ge(1) atom. The Li(1)-Ge(1) bond length is 1.91 Å. La(1) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ge(1) and one Ge(2) atom. The La(1)-Ge(1) bond length is 1.51 Å. The La(1)-Ge(2) bond length is 1.51 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li(1) and one La(1) atom. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one La(1) atom.
