CAS 10038-98-9

Germane, tetrachloro-

Description:

Tetrachlorogermane, with the CAS number 10038-98-9, is an organometallic compound featuring germanium as its central atom, surrounded by four chlorine atoms. This compound is characterized by its molecular formula GeCl4, indicating a tetrahedral geometry due to the four equivalent chlorine substituents. Tetrachlorogermane is a colorless, volatile liquid at room temperature and is known for its high reactivity, particularly with water, which can lead to the formation of hydrochloric acid and germanium dioxide. It is primarily used in the synthesis of germanium-containing compounds and as a precursor in the production of germanium semiconductors. The compound is sensitive to moisture and should be handled in an anhydrous environment to prevent hydrolysis. Safety precautions are essential when working with tetrachlorogermane, as it can be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin, and it poses environmental hazards due to its potential to release toxic chlorine gas upon decomposition.

Germaniumtetrachloride

CAS: 10038-98-9

Germaniumtetrachloride (GeCl4) is a thermal expansion agent that is used in the production of boron nitride and zirconium oxide. It is also used as a catalyst for hydrochloric acid and hydroxyl group reactions. GeCl4 has carcinogenic potential, but this has not been confirmed in animal studies. GeCl4 is an effective solid catalyst for the reaction of hydrogen chloride with ethylene oxide to form polyethylene glycols. The mechanism of this reaction involves a substitution reaction between the chlorine ion and the hydroxyl group on the catalyst surface, forming chlorohydrocarbonate ions, which react with ethylene oxide to form polymer chains. This process can be carried out at room temperature or below, without using any solvents or catalysis promoters such as mercury or sulfur dioxide.
