Photolysis of 7,8-digermabicyclo[2.2.2]octadiene (I) was studied by means o
f H-1-CIDNP and laser pulse photolysis techniques. It was found that photod
ecomposition of I occurs via germanium-centered 1,6-biradical species. 1,4-
Diphenylnaghthalene and tetramethyldigermene are the primary products of th
e photolytic reaction. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
