Ethylgermanium trichloride

Description:
Ethylgermanium trichloride, with the CAS number 993-42-0, is an organometallic compound that features germanium as its central atom, bonded to an ethyl group and three chlorine atoms. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its volatility and reactivity. Ethylgermanium trichloride is soluble in organic solvents but may hydrolyze in the presence of moisture, releasing hydrochloric acid and forming germanium dioxide. It is primarily used in the synthesis of germanium-containing materials and as a precursor in the production of germanium-based semiconductors. The compound exhibits characteristics typical of organometallics, such as the ability to form complexes with various ligands. Due to its chemical properties, it must be handled with care, as it can be toxic and corrosive. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.
