Iv. Lomakova et al., INVESTIGATION OF THE REACTION OF BIS(TRIETHYLGERMYL)CADMIUM WITH TITANIUM TETRACHLORIDE, Russian chemical bulletin, 43(7), 1994, pp. 1242-1244
The reaction between (Et(3)Ge)(2)Cd and TiCl4 in the presence of alpha
,alpha'-bipyridyl afforded a compound with a Ge-Cd-Ti group. This comp
ound was characterized by IR and ESR spectroscopy. Thermal decompositi
on of this compound at 130 and 160 degrees C and its interaction with
gaseous HCl were studied. A novel complex, (Et(3)Ge)(2)Cd.bpy, was obt
ained as a by-product of the reaction, and some its physicochemical ch
aracteristics were determined. Based on the experimental results, a sc
heme for the interaction of (Et(3)Ge)(2)Cd with TiCl4 has been suggest
ed.
