Materials Data on GeBr4 by Materials Project
GeBr4 is Silicon tetrafluoride-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four germanium tetrabromide molecules. Ge4+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four Br1- atoms. All Ge–Br bond lengths are 2.31 Å. There are four inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge4+ atom. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge4+ atom. In the third Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge4+ atom. In the fourth Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge4+ atom.
