Fe Fe Fe Fe Ge Cl
Fe4GeCl crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. There are two inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Fe(2), two equivalent Fe(1), two equivalent Ge(1), and one Cl(1) atom. The Fe(1)-Fe(2) bond length is 2.16 Å. Both Fe(1)-Fe(1) bond lengths are 1.25 Å. There is one shorter (2.49 Å) and one longer (2.75 Å) Fe(1)-Ge(1) bond length. The Fe(1)-Cl(1) bond length is 2.85 Å. In the second Fe site, Fe(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Fe(1), three equivalent Ge(1), and three equivalent Cl(1) atoms. All Fe(2)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 2.90 Å. All Fe(2)-Cl(1) bond lengths are 2.89 Å. Ge(1) is bonded to three equivalent Fe(2), six equivalent Fe(1), and three equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing GeFe9Cl3 cuboctahedra. All Ge(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths are 2.93 Å. Cl(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Fe(1), three equivalent Fe(2), and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms.
