The reported standard enthalpies of formation at 298 K are -19.3 ± 2.5 kJ/mol atom for Cr0.75 Ge0.25 (Cr3 Ge) and -12.3 ± 2.5 kJ/mol-atom for Cr0.63 Ge0.37 (Cr5 Ge3 ).

Uncertainty budget

Components kept separate, in the value's unit (literature SCHEMA.md, UNCERTAINTY_CALIBRATION.md): effective = max(sqrt(max(printed, reading, method)^2 + composition^2 + conversion^2), scatter). The method floor is the robust between-study scatter of the method class in ORCHID (calibrated) or a documented prior; printed values and printed uncertainties are unchanged.
