The synthetic process to obtain triacylgermenolates with
alternated
counterions by single-electron-transfer reactions or by a direct approach
is described. The formation of these derivatives was confirmed by
NMR spectroscopy and UV–vis spectroscopy. Moreover, metal–metal
exchange reactions of potassium-substituted triacylgermenolate
2a
with MgBr
2
, ZnCl
2
, and HgCl
2
are presented. Additionally,
2a
was reacted with
n
Bu
4
NBr, which led to the formation of ammonia-substituted
triacylgermenolate
8
. Furthermore, we reacted
2a
with HCl/Et
2
O to obtain triacylgermane
9
. Subsequently, we investigated the reaction of
9
with
t
Bu
2
Zn and
t
Bu
2
Hg.
NMR spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray crystallography, and UV–vis
spectroscopy are employed for analysis of structural properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
