Germyl chemistry. Part I. A convenient synthesis of germyl iodide and di-iodogermane
Abstract
Germyl iodide and di-iodogermane have been prepared in high yield at room temperature by reaction of hydrogen iodide with germyl chloride and dichlorogermane, respectively. Di-iodogermane has been characterised for the first time; its infrared and n.m.r. spectra are described.
