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].
