Abstract

Summary: Charge-transfer spectra of permethylated polygermane-tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) complexes were observed. The frequency of charge-transfer spectra was linearly related to ionization potentials (or electrochemical oxidation potentials) of the polygermanes. Polygermanes inserted into TCNE to afford 1: 1 adducts under mild conditions.
