Abstract

Abstract Photochemical reactions of aryl-substituted trigermanes have studied by trapping experiments, matrix isolation, and laser flash-photolysis techniques. Photolysis of the phenylated trigermanes involved both the simple extrusion of germylenes and the formation of germyl radicals and digermyl radicals. The photochemically generated germylenes react with 2, 3-dimethylbutadiene or CCl 4 to give germacyclopentenes or ...
