Abstract
Crystals of tetraphenylgermane, (C6H5)4Ge, are tetragonal, a= 11·613, c= 6·904, space group P21c, with Z= 2. The structure which is similar to that of tetraphenylstannane was refined with both stationary-crystal stationary-counter and θ–2θ scan data of Cu-Kα radiation, the final R being 0·039 and 0·050 for the two sets of data (437 and 417 independent reflexions). The molecule has symmetry with mean Ge–C 1·954 and C–C 1·380 A, and C–Ge–C 109·5°.
