Description

CAS: 993-10-2 | CH9Cl3Ge | 200.06 g/mol

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Applications
Methylgermanium trichloride is used as a precursor for the synthesis of five-coordinated spirocyclic anionic methylgermanates by reacting with catechol. It is also involved in the photo-chemical adsorption of organo-germanium on a hydrogen terminated atomically flat silicon surface using xenon excimer light.

Solubility
Miscible with ether.

Notes
Sensitive to moisture and reacts violently with water. Also hydrolysis takes place when contact with water. Incompatible with oxidizing agents and bases.
