Exploration of Lewis acidity and fluorophilicity of germanium compounds and their applications in C-F bond activation
(2021-07)
The elusive branched fluoro-oligogermane (Ph3Ge)3GeF which is the only crystallographically characterized Ge-F containing compound with unsupported Ge- Ge bonds, was successfully synthesized and its chemical/electrochemical ...
Rational synthesis and properties of new long-chain linear oligomeric germanium compounds
(2014-05)
Germanium compounds with single germanium-germanium bonds contain interesting optical and electronic properties such as absorption within the UV/visible range and conductivity, which can also be seen in other heavier Group ...
Structural and physical investigations of novel germanium compounds: Aryloxides, nanomaterials, and photolysis of oligogermanes
(2014-05)
The work described in this dissertation will explore the synthesis and characterization of novel germanium containing compounds in order to gain a better understanding of the organometallic chemistry of germanium. These ...
