Irradiation for permethyloligogermanes, Me(Me2Ge)nMe (n=2-5), in CCl4-CH3CN in the presence of 9,10-dicyanoanthracene (DCA) afforded the corresponding chlorogermanes and hexachloroethane. Fluorescence of DCA was quenched by the oligogermane with a diffusion-controlled rate. A mechanism of free-radical chlorination involving oligogermane cation radicals and a DCA anion radical is proposed for the germanium-germanium cleavage.
