title: Crystal structure of (tert-butyl-dimethyl-sil-yl)tri-phenyl-germane, Ph3Ge-SiMe2(t-Bu).
abstract: In the title compound, Ph3Ge-SiMe2(t-Bu) or C24H30GeSi, the Si and Ge atoms both possess a tetra-hedral coordination environment with C-E-C (E = Si, Ge) angles in the range 104.47 (5)-114.67 (5)°. The mol-ecule adopts an eclipsed conformation, with three torsion angles less than 29.5°. In the crystal, neighbouring mol-ecules are combined to dimers by six T-shaped C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming sixfold phenyl embraces (6PE).
