Li2PdGe is Cyanogen Chloride-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two Li2PdGe clusters. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Li(2) and one Ge(1) atom. The Li(1)-Li(2) bond length is 0.53 Å. The Li(1)-Ge(1) bond length is 2.41 Å. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Li(1) atom. Pd(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge(1) atom. The Pd(1)-Ge(1) bond length is 1.67 Å. Ge(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Li(1) and one Pd(1) atom.
