摘要:
The structure of the title compound, [GeBr4(C7H9N)(2)], is the first example of an addition compound of GeBr4 with two aromatic nitrogen bases. The molecule, with D-2h symmetry, has crystallographic C-2h Site symmetry. The environment around the Ge atom can be described as a slightly distorted octahedron with the dimethyl-pyridine ligands occupying axial positions and the four bromo ligands in the equatorial plane. The crystal structure is a non-merohedral twin composed of two overlapping monoclinic domains, simulating an orthorhombic symmetry.
