Redetermination of tetrakis(trimethylstannyl)germane

M. Bauer, T. L. Groy and J. Kouvetakis

Abstract: Redetermination of the structure of the title compound, [Ge(SnMe₃)₄] or [GeSn₄(CH₃)₁₂], previously refined from powder diffraction data only [Dinnebier, Bernatowicz, Helluy, Sebald, Wunschel, Fitch & van Smaalen et al. (2002). Acta Cryst. B58, 52-61], confirms that four bulky trimethylstannyl ligands surround the central Ge atom (site symmetry 1) in a tetrahedral coordination.
