Abstract

Triphenylgermanium is an amphoteric group which forms non-salt-like compounds with the halogens and true salts with the alkali metals.'The latter compounds, of which sodium triphenyl germanide is an example, are valuable as reagents for introducing the triphenylgermanium group into combination with carbon and perhaps other elements. In principle, the reactions proceed as follows
