Figure 5
(a) Perspective view of the octahedral Ge[6] atom (dark blue) connected to the six tetrahedral Ge[4] atoms (cyan) in a fashion that partially reproduces the structure of the rutile-type GeO2 represented in (b). (b) Two unit cells of the rutile-type structure of GeO2. The unit cell edges have been omitted but the fragment reproduced in (a) has been highlighted with yellow lines, together with the central GeO6 octahedron. (c) Two unit cells of the rutile-type structure of GeO2. The bonds drawn in ochre colour are those forming the corresponding fragment in (b) and in (d). (d) The fragment represented in (a) but projected to show the connectivity of the central octahedron to the six tetrahedra. (e) A projection of the rutile-like structure of GeO2 to be compared with the fragment in (c) and with the defect structure in (d).
