Organogermanium oxides —

All compounds are listed at the bottom of Table Table it-5. Organogermanium Oxides and Peroxides... 

Organogermanium compounds can be mineralized by wet oxidative digestion for 4 h at 70°C, in aqueous potassium persulphate, at pH 12. After dilution to an adequate concentration germanium can be determined by ICP-AES (inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry)9. 

Ge(CH3)3C5Hg>cyclo (Table 29, No. 17) has a zero dipole moment in CeHg at 25°C data for various organogermanium compounds have been compared [4]. Catalytic dehydrogenation occurs at 600°C over 10% Pt-C or Al-Cr-K oxide to give both the cyclopentenyl and cyclopentadienyl compounds [3].
