TiAlGe3 is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. Ti(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form corner-sharing TiGe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. There are three shorter (2.24 Å) and three longer (2.67 Å) Ti(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths. Al(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. All Al(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 3.17 Å. Ge(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Ti(1) and one Al(1) atom.
