The title compound, tricalcium monogermanate dichloride, is orthorhombic and consists of one distinct Ge site on special position 4c, site symmetry m, and two different Ca sites, Ca1 and Ca2, one on general position 8d, site symmetry 1, and the other on special position 4c. Two of the O atoms occupy the 4c position ( symmetry m); the third O atom is situated on the general 8d position, symmetry 1, as is the one distinct Cl position. By sharing common edges, the distorted Ca1 octahedra form infinite crankshaft- like chains parallel to the b direction. Along a and c, these chains are connected to one another via common corners, thereby forming a threedimensional framework of edge- and corner- sharing Ca1O(4)Cl(2) octahedra. Triangular prisms of Ca2O4Cl2 polyhedra and GeO4 tetrahedra ll the interstitial space within the Ca1 polyhedral framework. Relationships between the structures of the title compound and the humite- type materials norbergite (Mg3SiO4F2) and Mn3SiO4F2 are discussed.
