Materials Data on GeH3Cl by Materials Project
GeH3Cl is Silicon tetrafluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four chlorogermane molecules. Ge2+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to three H+0.33- and one Cl1- atom. All Ge–H bond lengths are 1.53 Å. The Ge–Cl bond length is 2.22 Å. There are two inequivalent H+0.33- sites. In the first H+0.33- site, H+0.33- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge2+ atom. In the second H+0.33- site, H+0.33- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge2+ atom. Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge2+ atom.
