Abstract: In the hexacoordinated title germanium compound [alternatively called (butanoato-²C³,O)bis(8-quinolato-²N,O)germanium(IV)], [Ge(C₉H₇NO)₂(C₄H₆O₂)], the Ge atom adopts a slightly distorted octahedral geometry, where the Ge-N coordinate covalent bonds [mean 2.079 (8) Å] are significantly longer than the Ge-O [mean 1.904 (8) Å] and Ge-C [1.976 (3) Å] covalent bonds.
