1,1-Bis[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]germetane

Abstract

The inter­nal C—Ge—C bond angle in the germacyclo­butane ring of the title compound, C17H14F6Ge or [Ge(C3H6)(C7H4F3)2], is 77.8 (3)°. The –CF3 groups display rotational disorder [occupancies 0.604 (14):0.396 (14) and 0.410 (6):0.411 (6):0.179 (3)] and the germacyclo­butane ring also shows disorder [occupancies 0.604 (14):0.396 (14)].
