Formula Unicode styled:
[Ge{C₆H₂(CF₃)₃-2,4,6}₂]
Compound name(s):
bis(2,4,6-tris(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-germanium
Central atom:
Charge on formula unit (QN):
0
Attached groups:
Compound type:
Notes:
The reference states: that Ge-F contact distances are intermediate between the van der Waals radii and covalent Ge-F bond radii. In addition the C-F bond lengths reveal a slight lengthening. The ortho-trifluoromethyl groups provide a "critically important weak internal base to help stabilize the complex". Perhaps this allows one to consider the EN is 8 rather than 6.
