Description

Tetraethoxygermane is an organic compound that is structurally similar to the alkene group, but contains a four-carbon chain. It reacts with other organic compounds and forms coordination complexes, which are molecules containing metal ions and ligands. Tetraethoxygermane has been shown to form reactive aromatic hydrocarbons when exposed to light or heat, which can be used for the synthesis of polymers and plastics. The molecule is also known for its ability to produce light emission when heated. This reaction product has been studied for use in the production of optical fibers and sensors. Tetraethoxygermane is a monomer that can be combined with other ethylenes to form polymers.
