description

Summary Reaction of LiGePh2GePh3 with Cl2GePh2 at −65°C in ether yields n-Ge5Ph12 as the main product, in addition to shorter-chained polygermanes. The analysis of the resulting products and the isolation of the pentagermane was done by HPLC. The crystal structure was determined (R = 0.095). The conformation of the Ge5 chain is antiperiplanar-anticlinal (−179.3 and +114.4°) with mean Ge-Ge distances of 247.6 (central) and 244.3 pm (terminal).
