Abstract
The molecular structure of tetramethylgermane has been determined by vapor phase electron diffraction. The structural parameters, based on rg interatomic distances are r(GeC) = 1.945 ± 0.003 Å, r(CH) = 1.12 ± 0.02 Å, and [Formula: see text] Tetrahedral symmetry of the GeC4 skeleton was preserved in the analysis by including a shrinkage correction for the C … C interatomic distance. The quoted uncertainties were estimated to include both systematic and random errors.
