Abstract: The title compound, tris[-2,3,5,6-tetraphenylphenoxy(1-)-1:3²O,1C²](trifluoromethylsulfonato-2O)disilvergermanium(Ag-Ge) benzene tetrasolvate, Ag[Ge(OC₆HPh₄-2,3,5,6)₃(AgOSO₂CF₃)]·4C₆H₆ or [Ag₂Ge(CF₃O₃S)(C₃₀H₂₁O)₃]·4C₆H₆, is a rare example of a compound containing a Ge^II-Ag^I bond. The anion consists of a Ge atom bound to three tetraphenylphenoxide ligands and to a molecule of silver trifluoromethanesulfonate. The Ag^I counter-ion is encapsulated by the three O atoms of the tetraphenylphenoxide ligands and exhibits -interactions with the ortho-phenyl rings of these ligands.
