Abstract
RbGeCl3 is prepared from RbCl and Ge(II) in 6 N HCl or by reaction of RbCl with HGeCl3. The compound crystallizes monoclinic, space group P21/m, with a = 798.8, b = 694.1, c = 580.0 pm, β = 106.34° and Z = 2. The crystal structure has been determined by SHELX and refined till R = 0.067. RbGeCl3 is built up by Rb+ and pyramidal GeCl3−-units. The coordination of Ge and the anionic framework is discussed.
