Materials Data on Ge2C2(SF2)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ge2C2(SF2)3 is diamond structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight 1,3,5,7-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)-2,4,6,8,9,10-hexathia-1,3,5,7-tetragermatricyclo[3.3.1.1^{3,7}]decane molecules. Ge4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent S2- atoms. All Ge–S bond lengths are 2.24 Å. C2+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent F1- atoms. All C–F bond lengths are 1.36 Å. S2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Ge4+ and two equivalent F1- atoms. Both S–F bond lengths are 3.23 Å. F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2+ and one S2- atom.
