Conclusions
-
1.
A method was developed for the preparation of organogermanium compounds by direct synthesis at 200–240° by using a liquid alkyl halide in the reaction.
-
2.
It was shown that the direct synthesis reaction can be run at 160–220° with a gaseous alkyl halide under the influence of Co60 γ-radiation.
-
3.
Only compounds of type RGeX3 are formed in the direct synthesis of organogermanium compounds from the higher alkyl halides.
-
4.
The addition of copper lowers the amount of GeBr4 in the reaction products when the direct synthesis is run at 200–240°.
