The first hafnium germanate with garnet-type of structure: Mild hydrothermal synthesis, crystal structure and new mechanism of hydroxyl inclusion

Chemistry of Metal Silicates and Germanates: The Largest Metal Polygermanate, K11Mn21Ge32O86(OH)9(H2O), with a 76 Å Periodic Lattice

“…In general, germanates tend to be far less studied than silicates, although they also appear to have a very rich chemistry. Recent examinations of metal germanates in hydrothermal fluids have likewise shown great promise. ,− …”
