A kinetic study has been conducted on the reactions of (arylthio) trimethylgermanes with various haloalkanes. Bimolecular nucleophilic attack of the sulfur atom has been found as the mechanisms for the reactions with normal haloalkanes while the mechanism was found to deviate from bimolecular attack to unimolecular ionization of the haloalkane, dependent on the structure of the alkyl groups with increasing of the steric hindrance. Reaction of a secondary haloalkane also proceeded by unimolecular ionization.
