Germanium dibromide is a bromide of germanium with the chemical formula GeBr2.

Contents

Preparation

Germanium dibromide can be obtained by reducing germanium tetrabromide with germanium or zinc. [4] [1]

Properties

Germanium dibromide is a yellow-white solid that is soluble in ethanol and acetone. It disproportionates into germanium tetrabromide and germanium. [1] [5] It hydrolyzes to germanium dihydroxide. [4] Germanium dibromide is monoclinic, space group P21/c (No. 14), lattice parameters a = 11.68 Å, b = 9.12 Å, c = 7.02 Å, and β = 101.9°. [6] It can react with cyclopentadienylsodium or cyclopentadienylthallium in ether solvent to form germanocene. [7]

Ditellurium bromide is the inorganic compound with the formula Te2Br. It is one of the few stable lower bromides of tellurium. Unlike sulfur and selenium, tellurium forms families of polymeric subhalides where the halide/chalcogen ratio is less than 2.

Organogermanium chemistry is the science of chemical species containing one or more C–Ge bonds. Germanium shares group 14 in the periodic table with carbon, silicon, tin and lead. Historically, organogermanes are considered as nucleophiles and the reactivity of them is between that of organosilicon and organotin compounds. Some organogermanes have enhanced reactivity compared with their organosilicon and organoboron analogues in some cross-coupling reactions.
