Abstract
The spectroscopic and solution properties of trimethylgermanium nitrate have been determined and compared with those of other known Group IV alkyl nitrates. The vibrational spectra show that the nitrato group is covalently bound to the germanium atom in a unidentate manner. Ultraviolet spectra and conductivity measurements indicate that the compound behaves as a 1:1 electrolyte in water and dimethylsulfoxide, but is a non-electrolyte in methyl cyanide, nitromethane, and ethyl acetate. Attempts to prepare methylgermanium trinitrate are also described.
