Abstract

The structure of MeGeI3 is orthorhombic with space groupPnma,a=6.374(3),b=10.412(4),c=12.683(4) Å, andz=4. It has been solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques to a conventionalR factor of 0.0791 for 653 unique reflections. The crystal structure contains discrete molecules with mirror symmetry which are separated by normal van der Waals distances. The mean Ge-I distance is 2.500(2) Å.
