Transcription
Synthesis
Germanium tetrafluoride is formed by treating germanium with fluorine:
- Ge + 2 F2 → GeF4
Alternatively germanium dioxide combines with hydrofluoric acid (HF):[3]
- GeO2 + 4 HF → GeF4 + 2 H2O
It is also formed during the thermal decomposition of a complex salt, Ba[GeF6]:[4]
- Ba(GeF6) → GeF4 + BaF2
Properties
Germanium tetrafluoride is a noncombustible, strongly fuming gas with a garlic-like odor. It reacts with water to form hydrofluoric acid and germanium dioxide. Decomposition occurs above 1000 °C.[5]
Reaction of GeF4 with fluoride sources produces GeF5− anions with octahedral coordination around Ge atom due to polymerization.[6] The structural characterization of a discrete trigonal bipyramidal GeF5− anion was achieved by a "naked" fluoride reagent 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolium fluoride.[7]
Uses
In combination with disilane, germanium tetrafluoride is used for in the synthesis of SiGe.[1]
