GermaniumI 4700 Hydrothermal Synthesis and Structural Characterizations of Two New Ger-

manates with a Novel Topological Framework and Unusual Ge4(OH)4 Cubane. — The new compounds (II) and (III) are characterized by single crystal XRD, powder XRD, TG, and IR spectroscopy. They crystallize in the cubic space group P43m with Z = 1. Both compounds exhibit the same topologically novel inorganic framework, which is assembled from Ge4(OH)4 cubanes and chiral intertwinned Ge—O double he-lices. — (XU*, Y.; CHENG, L.; YOU, W.; Inorg.
