GeH3Cl is Silicon tetrafluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four chlorogermane molecules. Ge(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one H(2), two equivalent H(1), and one Cl(1) atom. There are two inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge(1) atom. In the second H site, H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge(1) atom.

Ge(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one H(2), two equivalent H(1), and one Cl(1) atom. The Ge(1)-H(2) bond length is 1.52 Å. Both Ge(1)-H(1) bond lengths are 1.51 Å. The Ge(1)-Cl(1) bond length is 2.21 Å. There are two inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge(1) atom. In the second H site, H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge(1) atom.
