{Ge10Si[Si(SiMe3)3]4(SiMe3)2Me}−: A Ge10Si framework reveals a structural transition onto elemental germanium†
Abstract
The reaction of the metastable high temperature molecule GeCl synthesized via a co-condensation technique with LiSi(SiMe3)3 leads to a metalloid Ge10Si cluster compound, in which the arrangement of the germanium atoms can be seen as a cutout from the structure of
