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.
