Abstract
The crystal structures of 1-fluorogermatrane ( P2 1) and of the 1:3 acetonitrile adduct of 1-chlorogermatrane ( P6 3) have been determined by X-ray diffraction. A previously reported very short transannular GeN contact of 201.1(9) pm in 1-fluorogermatrane is corrected to 210.4(2) pm which complies well with the value of 209.6(3) pm found for the chloro analog. The structural parameters of both germatrane molecules are consistent with C 3 symmetry. No indication was found for an unusually flexible cage or for an impact of the crystal packing on the GeN linkage.
