Abstract

Abstract The UV photolysis of dodecamethylcyclohexagermane (1) in cyclohexane at room temperature proceeds readily with loss of dimethylgermylene species to give two of the lower homologs, decamethylcyclopentagermane (3). The photochemically generated dimethylgermylene species reacts with 2, 3-dimethylbuta-1, 3-diene or CCl 4 to give 1, 1, 3, 4-tetramethyl-1-germacyclopent-3-ene or trichloromethyldimethylchlorogermane, ...
