Materials Data on GeH4 by Materials Project

GeH4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of four hydrogen molecules and two GeH2 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each GeH2 ribbon, Ge2+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent H+0.50- atoms. There is two shorter (1.68 Å) and two longer (2.00 Å) Ge–H bond length. H+0.50- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Ge2+ atoms.

四氢化锗（GeH4）以单斜晶系C2/c空间群结晶。该结构为一维结构，包含四个氢分子与两条沿(0, 0, 1)方向排布的GeH2带状结构单元。在每条GeH2带状结构单元中，二价锗离子（Ge²+）以畸变的矩形跷跷板型配位几何与四个等价的H+0.50-原子成键，存在两条键长为1.68 Å的较短Ge-H键与两条键长为2.00 Å的较长Ge-H键。H+0.50-以类水的配位几何与两个等价的Ge²+原子成键。
