The i.r. spectra of the germyl ion and its deuteriated analogue have been observed and a normal co-ordinate analysis has been performed which predicts a bond angle of ca. 93°. Attempts to observe the spectrum of the silyl ion failed because of interference of solvent absorptions (hexamethylphosphoramide) or failure of the preparation (dimethoxyethane solutions).
