Ge Cl
GeCl is alpha carbon monoxide-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two chlorogermanium molecules. Ge(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl(1) atom. The Ge(1)-Cl(1) bond length is 1.81 Å. Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge(1) atom.
