Co Co Ge Cl
Co2GeCl crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Co(2) and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. The Co(1)-Co(2) bond length is 3.29 Å. There is one shorter (1.47 Å) and one longer (1.69 Å) Co(1)-Cl(1) bond length. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Co(1), four equivalent Co(2), four equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.92 Å) and two longer (3.12 Å) Co(2)-Co(2) bond lengths. There are a spread of Co(2)-Ge(1) bond distances ranging from 2.41-2.84 Å. There is one shorter (2.84 Å) and one longer (2.96 Å) Co(2)-Cl(1) bond length. Ge(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to four equivalent Co(2) and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There is one shorter (1.82 Å) and one longer (1.85 Å) Ge(1)-Cl(1) bond length. Cl(1) is bonded to two equivalent Co(1), two equivalent Co(2), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing ClCo4Ge2 tetrahedra.
