description: Ge7(H4O9)2(H2O)5 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of five water molecules and one Ge7(H4O9)2 framework. In the Ge7(H4O9)2 framework, there are seven inequivalent Ge4+ sites. In the first Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form GeO6 octahedra that share corners with four GeO4 tetrahedra and edges with two GeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ge–O bond distances ranging from 1.80–2.17 Å. In the second Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two GeO6 octahedra and corners with three GeO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 63°. There are a spread of Ge–O bond distances ranging from 1.75–1.80 Å. In the third Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form GeO6 octahedra that share corners with three GeO4 tetrahedra and edges with two GeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ge–O bond distances ranging from 1.83–2.14 Å. In the fourth Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form GeO6 octahedra that share corners with four GeO4 tetrahedra and edges with two GeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ge–O bond distances ranging from 1.85–2.07 Å. In the fifth Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three GeO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one GeO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 55–60°. There are a spread of Ge–O bond distances ranging from 1.74–1.83 Å. In the sixth Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three GeO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one GeO4 tetrahedra.

There is one shorter (1.08 Å) and one longer (1.48 Å) H–O bond length. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.01 Å. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the seventh H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the eighth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.01 Å. There are eighteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Ge4+ atoms.
