In the title compound, (C6H17N3)2[Ge2S6], the dimeric [Ge2S6]4− anion is formed by two edge-sharing GeS4 tetrahedral units. The average terminal and bridging Ge—S bond lengths are 2.164 (2) and 2.272 (8) Å, respectively. The dimeric inorganic anions and the organic piperazinium cations are organized into a three-dimensional network by N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds.

GeO2 (104.6 mg, 1.0 mmol) and S powder (128.0 mg, 4.0 mmol) were mixed with N-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine (2.3478 g) in a 23 mL Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave and stirred for 20 min. The vessel was sealed and heated at 190°C for 7 d and then cooled to room temperature. Colorless slab crystals were obtained and air dried. The yield based on GeO2 is about 36%. Analysis, calculated for C12H34N6S6Ge2: C 24.0, H 5.71, N 14.0%; found C 23.7, H 5.56, N 13.9%.
The structure was solved by
and refined by full-matrix least-squares methods based on F2. All C-bound H atoms were positioned and refined as riding atoms with C—H = 0.97(CH2) Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). N-bound H atoms were located in a difference map, adjusted to give N—H = 0.90 Å and refined as riding atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N).Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2005); cell

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Main group (groups 13 and 14) metal chalcogenide complexes with well-defined compositions and structures are of great interest because of their size-dependent optical properties, semiconducting and photocatalytic behaviors (Bowes & Ozin, 1996; Zhang et al., 2008). Since Bedard synthesized the first porous chalcogenide compound by replacing O2- with S2- in an open-framework oxide (Bedard et al., 1989), much effort has been expended during the past two decades to develop open-framework metal chalcogenides (Yaghi et al., 1994; Zheng et al., 2005; Haddadpour et al., 2009). In this paper we report the hydrothermal synthesis and crystal structure of a new thiogermanate, [aepH2]2[Ge2S6]. (aep = N-(2-aminoethyl)piperazinium).
The title compound consists of a dimeric [Ge2S6]4- anion having crystallographically-imposed centrosymmetry and two diprotonated [aepH2]2+ cations (Fig. 1). The dimeric [Ge2S6]4- anion is constructed by two edge-linked tetrahedral GeS4 units forming a planar Ge2S2 quadrilateral while the four terminal sulfur atoms lie in a second plane at an angle of 88.38 (1)° to the first. The S—Ge—S angles in the tetrahedral GeS4 unit range from 91.827 (13) to 114.634 (15)°. The average Ge—St (terminal bond) length of 2.1642 (4) Å) is significantly shorter than the average Ge—Sb (bridging bond) length of 2.2724 (4) Å) with both values similar to those found in the other thiogermanates (Xu et al., 2012; Jia et al., 2005). The two terminal amine groups of the N-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine are protonated to balance the negative charge of the dimeric anion. The [Ge2S6]4- anions and [apeH2]2+ cations are organized into an extended three-dimensional network by N—H···S hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2 and Table 1).
