Abstract
The title compound, [Ge4(CH3)8(C4H2S)4], crystallizes with one-half molecule in the asymmetric unit, the whole molecule being generated by inversion symmetry. The dihedral angle between adjacent thiophene rings is 72.84 (14)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...π interactions, leading to the formation of chains along [100].
