Materials Data on GeO2 by Materials Project
GeO2 is Hydrophilite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ge4+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing GeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°. There is four shorter (1.90 Å) and two longer (1.97 Å) Ge–O bond length. O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Ge4+ atoms.
