Materials Data on GeH8N2OF6 by Materials Project
(NH3)2GeF6H2O crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight ammonia molecules, four water molecules, and four GeF6 clusters. In each GeF6 cluster, Ge4+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of Ge–F bond distances ranging from 1.80–1.91 Å. There are four inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge4+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge4+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge4+ atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge4+ atom.
