In the title compound, Ph3Ge-SiMe2(t-Bu) or C24H30GeSi, the Si and Ge atoms both possess a tetrahedral coordination environment with C—E—C (E= Si, Ge) angles in the range 104.47 (5)–114.67 (5)°. The molecule adopts an eclipsed conformation, with three torsion angles less than 29.5°. In the crystal, neighbouring molecules are combined to dimers by six T-shaped C—H...π interactions, forming sixfold phenyl embraces (6PE).
