Popis: | We report results for the electrochemistry of the germanium(II) tri-halide anions, [GeCl3]?, [GeBr3]? and [GeI3]?, in supercritical difluoromethane containing 60?mm [NnBu4][BF4] at 19.1?MPa and 358?K. The voltammetry shows mass-transport-limited currents for reduction to germanium at gold on the first scan. There is no evidence of a germanium stripping peak and, on subsequent scans, the electrode slowly passivates with the deposition of approximately 0.4??m of material. The redox potentials for the reduction of the three tri-halides are in the order [GeCl3]? |
