The preparation of monogermyl[2H2]phosphine and mono[2H3]germylphosphine, and the formation of a ‘triple mixed hydride’, GeH3PH2BH3, with diborane
Abstract
The preparation of GeH3PD2 and GeD3PH2 by the exchange reaction between monosilylphosphine and monochlorogermane is confirmed by their 1H n.m.r. spectra. The formation of GeH3PH2BH3 by direct reaction with diborane is also examined by 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy, and features of these spectra are discussed.
