Study synthesizes germanium compound, suggesting new pathways for material development.
The all-germanium adamantane (Me₃SiGe)₄(GeMe₂)₆ (2) was synthesized from its isomer (Me₃GeSi)₄(GeMe₂)₆ (1) via sila-Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement (overall four steps starting from commercial Me₂GeCl₂, Si₂Cl₆, and [nBu₄N]Cl). The molecular structures of 1 and 2 were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction; a plausible mechanistic scenario is postulated based on quantum-chemical calculations.
