Abstract

Abstract The ArF laser-induced photolysis of tetramethylgermane (TMG) in the gas-phase yields trimethylgermane, ethane, methane, and ethene, layers of germanium being deposited concomitantly. Trapping experiments with germane-d 4 suggest that major primary steps of the photolysis are molecular extrusions of methane and ethane from TMG.
