The Vibrational Spectra of Silane and Germane Derivatives. Part IV. The Infrared and Raman Spectra of the Iodo(methyl)germanes

Abstract

The infrared and Raman spectra of the series of iodo(methyl)germanes, CH₃GeI₃, (CH₃)₂GeI₂, and (CH₃)₃GeI have been recorded. A normal coordinate analysis based on a modified valence force field confirms the a priori assignments for all of the fundamental frequencies except the torsional modes.
