Vibrational spectra of germane and silane derivatives. Part I. The fundamental vibration frequencies of dichlorogermane

Abstract

The gas-phase i.r. and liquid-phase Raman spectra of GeH₂Cl₂ and GeD₂Cl₂ have been recorded. A normal coordinate treatment has lead to the positive identification of all the fundamental frequencies. The calculations based on the C_2v model were initially carried out on SiH₂Cl₂ where a comparison with previous results was possible.
