G73e Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of Germanium Compounds

Abstract EN

The field of G73e NMR spectroscopy is reviewed in this paper, from early developments in the 1950s to present day research.

Specific attention is paid to recent investigations, including the observation of fluxional behavior of hypervalent germanium species having five or six attached ligands by 73Ge NMR spectroscopy, the spectral properties of linear and branched oligogermanes that contain single germanium-germanium bonds, and the relatively new field of solid-state germanium-73 NMR.
