CAS 597-63-7: Tetraethylgermane

Description: Tetraethylgermane, with the CAS number 597-63-7, is an organometallic compound that consists of a germanium atom bonded to four ethyl groups. It is a colorless, flammable liquid at room temperature and is known for its volatility and low boiling point. Tetraethylgermane is part of a class of compounds known as organogermanes, which are characterized by their silicon-like properties and are often used in semiconductor applications and as precursors in the synthesis of germanium-based materials. The compound exhibits a tetrahedral geometry around the germanium atom, similar to that of tetraethylsilane. It is sensitive to moisture and air, which can lead to hydrolysis and oxidation, producing germanium oxides and other byproducts. Due to its flammability and potential toxicity, handling tetraethylgermane requires appropriate safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area. Its unique chemical properties make it a subject of interest in both industrial and research settings, particularly in the fields of materials science and nanotechnology.
