## Abstract By reaction of GeI~4~, [N(__n__Bu)~4~]I as iodide donor, and [NMe(__n__Bu)~3~][N(Tf)~2~] as ionic liquid, reddish‐black, plate‐like shaped crystals are obtained. X‐ray diffraction analysis of single crystals resulted in the compositions __;alpha;__‐[NMe(__n__Bu)~3~](GeI~4~)I (__Pbca__; __a__ = 1495.4(3) pm; __b__ = 1940.6(4) pm; __c__ = 3643.2(7) pm; __Z__ = 16) and __β__‐[NMe(__n__Bu)~3~](GeI~4~)I (__Pn__; __a__ = 1141.5(2) pm; __b__ = 953.6(2) pm; __c__ = 1208.9(2) pm; __β__ = 100.8(1)°; __Z__ = __2__). Depending on the reaction temperature, the one or other compound is formed selectively. In addition, the reaction of GeI~4~ and [N(__n__Bu)~4~]I, using [ImMe(__n__Bu)][BF~4~] (Im = imidazole) as ionic liquid, resulted in the crystallization of [ImMe(__n__Bu)][N(__n__Bu)~4~](GeI~4~)~3~I~2~ (__P__2~1~/__c__; __a__ = 1641.2(3) pm; __b__ = 1903.0(4) pm; __c__ = 1867.7(4) pm; __β__ = 92.0(1)°; __Z__ = 4). The anionic network of all three compounds is established by molecular germanium(IV)iodide, which is bridged by iodide anions. The different connectivity of (GeI~4~–I^–^) networks is attributed to the flexibility of I^–^ regarding its coordination and bond length. Here, a
