Tetrabromogermane

Description:
Tetrabromogermane is an organometallic compound with the chemical formula GeBr₄. It consists of a germanium atom bonded to four bromine atoms, making it a member of the group of halogenated germanes. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is known for its high density and volatility. Tetrabromogermane is sensitive to moisture and can hydrolyze in the presence of water, releasing hydrogen bromide and forming germanium dioxide. It is primarily used in research and industrial applications, particularly in the synthesis of germanium-containing materials and as a precursor in the production of germanium-based semiconductors. Due to its bromine content, it is classified as a hazardous substance, requiring careful handling to avoid exposure. Additionally, it is important to note that tetrabromogermane should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials, to maintain its stability and prevent unwanted reactions.
