KGeBr3 is Potassium chlorate structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. K(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Br(2) and six equivalent Br(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Br(2) and two equivalent Br(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Br sites. In the first Br site, Br(1) is bonded to three equivalent K(1) and one Ge(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing BrK3Ge tetrahedra. In the second Br site, Br(2) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one K(1) and one Ge(1) atom.
KGeBr3 is Potassium chlorate structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. K(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Br(2) and six equivalent Br(1) atoms. The K(1)-Br(2) bond length is 3.35 Å. There are two shorter (3.41 Å) and four longer (3.52 Å) K(1)-Br(1) bond lengths. Ge(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Br(2) and two equivalent Br(1) atoms. The Ge(1)-Br(2) bond length is 2.49 Å. Both Ge(1)-Br(1) bond lengths are 2.50 Å. There are two inequivalent Br sites. In the first Br site, Br(1) is bonded to three equivalent K(1) and one Ge(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing BrK3Ge tetrahedra. In the second Br site, Br(2) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one K(1) and one Ge(1) atom.
