Summary.

New selenidogermanates [Mn(en)3]2Ge2Se6 (en = ethylenediamine) and [Fe(dien)2]2Ge2Se6 (dien= diethylenetriamine) were synthesized by the reaction of germanium dioxide, elemental selenium, and transition metal chlorides in respectively en and dien. Both compounds crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/n with two formula units in the unit cell, and consist of discrete [Ge2Se6]4− anions with transition metal complex cations as counter ions. The [Ge2Se6]4− anion is formed by two GeSe4 tetrahedra sharing a common edge to form a planar Ge2Se2 four-membered ring. The [Mn(en)3]2+ and [Ni(dien)2]2+ complex cations are in distorted octahedral geometry. In both selenidogermanates extensive N–H···Se hydrogen bonding contacts lead to 3-dimensional network structures. The band gaps of 2.36 and 2.25 eV were derived from optical absorption spectra. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that the first compound decomposes in two steps under the nitrogen stream, while the second exhibits a one-step decomposition process.
