Bis(1-adamantylammonium) hexafluoridogermanate

L. Cheng, X. Xu and Y. Xu

Abstract: The title compound, (C10H18N)2[GeF6], was obtained hydrothermally from an aqueous solution of GeO2, H3BO3, NiCl2, adamantylammonium chloride, butanol and hydrofluoric acid. The structure consists of discrete bis(1-adamantylammonium) cations lying on crystallographic mirror planes and hexafluoridogermanate anions disordered about sites of 2/m point symmetry. In the latter, the Ge atom lies on the site of 2/m symmetry, one F atom lies on the mirror plane and two further F atoms are included in general positions with 50% site occupancy. The cations and anions lie in layers with N-H...F hydrogen bonds formed between them.
