(Ni)12AlAlGeGe crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two aluminum;germanium molecules, one dialuminium molecule, one ge2h6 molecule, and eleven Ni clusters. In one of the Ni clusters, there are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1,10) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Ni(1,10) and one Ni(4,13) atom. The Ni(1,10)-Ni(1,10) bond length is 0.35 Å. The Ni(1,10)-Ni(4,13) bond length is 0.41 Å. In the second Ni site, Ni(4,13) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Ni(1,10) and one Ni(4,13) atom. The Ni(4,13)-Ni(4,13) bond length is 0.35 Å. In ten of the Ni clusters, there are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(2,24) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ni(11) atom. The Ni(2,24)-Ni(11) bond length is 0.43 Å. In the second Ni site, Ni(11) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ni(2,24) atom.
