Chlorotriethylgermane, with the CAS number 994-28-5, is an organogermanium compound characterized by the presence of a germanium atom bonded to three ethyl groups and one chlorine atom. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its volatility and low viscosity. The compound exhibits a tetrahedral geometry around the germanium center, similar to other organometallic compounds. Chlorotriethylgermane is primarily used in the field of organometallic chemistry and as a precursor in the synthesis of germanium-containing materials, including semiconductors and other electronic components. It is also utilized in chemical vapor deposition processes. Due to the presence of chlorine, it can be reactive, particularly in the presence of nucleophiles, and may release hydrochloric acid upon hydrolysis. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it can be harmful if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate protective measures should be taken to avoid skin and eye contact.
