45. Refinements in lower symmetry groups, such as C2, were unsuccessful. Despite the increased number of variables, the fits were generally poorer. In particular, the y coordinate of the Ge2 site did not deviate significantly from zero (y=0.0014(3)), and the electron density at this position remained rather "smeared".
