Y Be Be Ge
Be2YGe is Cyanogen Chloride-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one Be2YGe cluster. There are two inequivalent Be sites. In the first Be site, Be(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Y(1) atom. The Be(1)-Y(1) bond length is 0.81 Å. In the second Be site, Be(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge(1) atom. The Be(2)-Ge(1) bond length is 0.55 Å. Y(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Be(1) and one Ge(1) atom. The Y(1)-Ge(1) bond length is 0.25 Å. Ge(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Be(2) and one Y(1) atom.
