Abstract

In the title compound, [Ge(C(9)H(11)O)(2)(C(6)H(16)N(2))], the Ge(II) atom is coordinated in a distorted trigonal-pyramidal geometry by two O atoms belonging to two 2,4,6-trimethyl-phenolate ligands and one N atom of a tetra-methyl-ethylenediamine ligand. Comparing the structure with published data of similar compounds shows that the Ge-O bonds are covalent and the Ge-N bond is coordinated.
