Germanium Quantum Dots Embedded in N‐Doping Graphene Matrix with Sponge‐Like Architecture for Enhanced Performance in Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Germanium quantum dots embedded in a nitrogen‐doped graphene matrix with a sponge‐like architecture (Ge/GN sponge) are prepared through a simple and scalable synthetic method, involving freeze drying to obtain the Ge(OH)₄/graphene oxide (GO) precursor and subsequent heat reduction treatment. Upon application as an anode for the lithium‐ion battery (LIB), the Ge/GN sponge exhibits a high discharge capacity compared with previously reported N‐doped graphene. The electrode with the as‐synthesized Ge/GN sponge can deliver a capacity of 1258 mAh g^?1 even after 50 charge/discharge cycles. This improved electrochemical performance can be attributed to the pore memory effect and highly conductive N‐doping GN matrix from the unique sponge‐like structure.     

Platinum Complexes Containing Pyramidalized Germanium and Tin Dihalide Ligands Bound through σ,σ ME Multiple Bonds

We present the isolation of the first mononuclear dihalogermylene, and mono‐ and dinuclear stannylene complexes of transition metals. These exhibit exceptionally pyramidalized Group 14 centers. Additionally, removal of the halide substituents from the Ge/Sn atom was successfully performed in two ways, halide abstraction and reduction, leading to a variety of unusual structural motifs.     

Can Low‐Valent Germanium Chemistry Be Practiced Under Ambient Conditions? A Tale of a Water‐Stable Yet Reactive Germylene Monochloride Complex

A germylene monochloride complex ((DPM)GeCl, 1 ) that is water stable was isolated for the first time. Interestingly, it reacts with cesium fluoride under ambient conditions (non‐inert atmosphere and water‐containing solvent) to afford water stable germylene monofluoride complex ((DPM)GeF, 2 ). Due to the usage of DPM (dipyrrinate) ligand, germylene monohalides 1 and 2 show fluorescence in the visible region at 555 and 538 nm, respectively. Compounds 1 and 2 are the first fluorescent germylene complexes and were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The structure of compound 1 was also proved by single crystal X‐ray diffraction studies.     

Reversible,Photoinduced Activation of P4 by Low‐Coordinate Main Group Compounds

Two unique systems based on low‐coordinate main group elements that activate P₄ are shown to quantitatively release the phosphorus cage upon short exposure to UV light. This reactivity marks the first reversible reactivity of P₄, and the germanium system can be cycled 5 times without appreciable loss in activity. Theoretical calculations reveal that the LUMO is antibonding with respect to the main group element–phosphorus bonds and bonding with respect to reforming the P₄ tetrahedron, providing a rationale for this unprecedented activity, and suggesting that the process is tunable based on the substituents.

Gas Phase Formation of Methylgermylene (HGeCH3)

The methylgermylene species (HGeCH₃; X¹A′) has been synthesized via the bimolecular gas phase reaction of ground state methylidyne radicals (CH) with germane (GeH₄) under single collision conditions in crossed molecular beams experiments. Augmented by electronic structure calculations, this elementary reaction was found to proceed through barrierless insertion of the methylidyne radical in one of the four germanium-hydrogen bonds on the doublet potential energy surface yielding the germylmethyl (CH₂GeH₃; X²A′) collision complex. This insertion is followed by a hydrogen shift from germanium to carbon and unimolecular decomposition of the methylgermyl (GeH₂CH₃; X²A′) intermediate by atomic hydrogen elimination leading to singlet methylgermylene (HGeCH₃; X¹A′). Our investigation provides a glimpse at the largely unknown reaction dynamics and isomerization processes of the carbon-germanium system, which are quite distinct from those of the isovalent carbon system thus providing insights into the intriguing chemical bonding of organo germanium species on the most fundamental, microscopic level.     

Synthesis of a Nine-atom Germanium Cluster K_(0.5)[K(18-crown-6)]_(1.5)Ge_9·1.5en with Unprecedented “up” and “down” Chain Arrangement of Unit [-(Ge_9-K-Ge_9)~(3-)-]

A new complex K0.5[K(18-crown-6)]1.5Ge9·1.5en(1) which contains unprecedented "up" and "down" chain arrangement of unit [-(Ge-9-K-Ge9)3-] has been prepared by the reaction of K4Ge9 with HgS in ethylenediamine(en) in the presence of 18-crown-6(1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane), and characterized by X-ray structure analysis. The color of the title crystals(black), which is darker than that of the reported three compounds with chains of germanium clusters, may result from the naked K+ and their interactions with the chain. And the structure differences between 1 and the reported three compounds with chains of germanium have also been discussed.     

Use of solid electrolyte GeSe-GeI<Subscript>2</Subscript> for electrochemical doping with germanium

Lead tellurite is study to show that solid electrolyte GeSe-GeI₂, which has the optimum composition and contains 5 mol % of GeI₂, can in principle be used for electrochemical doping of semiconducting materials with germanium by the coulometric titration method. Some parameters of the coulometric titration are considered. The doping efficiency is monitored by determining variations in the concentration of charge carriers using the Hall method and by measuring the EMF of corresponding galvanic cells.
