Interaction of water with GeCl4, SnCl4, and AsCl 3
The interaction of water with GeCl4, SnCl4, and AsCl3 was studied by IR spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that these chlorides contain molecular water in monomeric form. At water concentrations above 10-2 mol/l, GeCl4 also contains H3O+ ions. The mechanisms of GeCl4 and AsCl3 hydrolysis were studied over a wide range of water concentrations.
Chemical equilibria in hydrolysis of germanium tetrachloride and arsenic trichloride
The chemical equilibria in the hydrolysis of high-purity germanium tetrachloride and arsenic trichloride at low water concentrations were studied by IR spectroscopy. The equilibrium constant of AsCl3 hydrolysis was shown to correlate with the a
