Mn2PdGe is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two Mn2PdGe clusters. Mn(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mn(1), one Pd(1), and one Ge(1) atom. The Mn(1)-Mn(1) bond length is 0.31 Å. The Mn(1)-Pd(1) bond length is 0.70 Å. The Mn(1)-Ge(1) bond length is 0.38 Å. Pd(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mn(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mn(1) atoms.
