Triphenyl[(organosulphinyl)methyl]germanium compounds [Ph3GeCH2S(O)R: 1 R = Me, C6H4X-p, X = H, Me or tBu] have been prepared by oxidation of the corresponding sulphido compounds, Ph3GeCH2SR, with m-chloroperbenzoic acid. Further oxidation of 1 by m-ClC6H4CO3H produces the corresponding sulphones, Ph3GeCH2S(O)2R. Compounds (1 R = Me or C6H4tBu-p) are extensively decomposed on heating to 170°C. A crystal structure determination of (1 R = C6H4tBu) indicated it to be a molecular species with a tetrahedral geometry at germanium. The S - O bond is twisted out of the plane of the attached aryl ring by 7.0(3)°.
