Materials Data on Ge3H by Materials Project
(Ge)6H2 is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of four hydrogen molecules and one Ge framework. In the Ge framework, there are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded to four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing GeGe4 tetrahedra. All Ge–Ge bond lengths are 2.73 Å. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Ge atoms.
