Abstract
The mechanism of the alkylation of GeI2 byn-butyl bromide and methylcobalt(iii) bisdimethylglyoximate in acetonitrile was studied using cyclic voltammetry. The reaction with the methylcobalt complex occursvia anodic activation (oxidation of the methylcobalt complex), while the reaction withn-butyl bromide is initiated by cathodic activation (reduction of GeI2).
