description

Abstract The optimum conditions for selectively cleaving off two phenyl groups in Ge2Ph6 by trichloroacetic acid have been determined. Neither trihaloacetic acids nor HCl/AlCl3 nor reactive tetrahalides MCl4 are suitable reagents for cleaving one phenyl group alone. The 13C NMR chemical shifts of functional phenyl-mono- and -digermanes are given. The crystal structure of 1,2-bis(trichloroacetate)tetraphenyldigermane has been determined and refined to R = 0.048. The digermane bond is bridged by both acetates (distances GeGe 239.3(2), GeO 207.3(3) and 231.4(3) pm). The Ge atoms have trigonal bipyramidal coordination.
