Mass Spectrometric Study of Inter-Group IVB Molecules

Abstract
The systems germanium‐graphite and germanium‐silicon‐carbon have been studied. Several gaseous molecules containing Ge, Si, and/or C were observed and their dissociation energies determined from measured partial pressures. A general picture of the dissociation energies of di‐, tri‐, and tetraatomic intergroup IVB molecules is deduced from these measurements. Incidental to this study the vapor pressure of pure Si was determined; the result confirms the heat of sublimation obtained previously.
