, p. 1989 - 1994 (1967)
The synthesis, characterization, and some properties of GeH3OCH3 and GeH3CH2OCH3 are described. The donor properties of the compounds have been investigated by an infrared hydrogen-bonding study. Germyl methyl ether acts as a stronger Lewis base than (CH3)2O, and GeH3CH2OCH3 acts as a weaker Lewis base than CH3CH2OCH3, with methanol as reference acid. The results are compared with data for the corresponding silicon compounds and discussed in terms of electronegativity and π-bonding considerations.
