The synthesis, structure, thermal stability, and catalytic properties are reported for a chiralgermanate, Ge9O19(OH)2(N2C2H10)2(N2C2H8)0.5H2O, ICMM6. It is orthorhombic, of space groupC2221, and has unit cell dimensions a = 12.156(3) Å, b = 13.960(4) Å, c = 14.258(4) Å, volume2419.6(11) Å3, and Z = 4. Three kinds of interconnected helical 8-, 11-, and 11-rings channelsare present in the 3D framework. ICMM6 is an active chiral catalyst for the Michael additionreaction and acetalization of aldehydes. It is stable in water and organic solvents and canbe recovered and reused at least four times without losing either its structure or its reactivity.
