Pharmacology and Uses

Distribution of Germanium Given Orally to Mice as Ge(C2H5)4 [3]. Ingestion of 0.5 g per kg values as mg/g of fresh tissue. 

Ge(C2H5)4 has been used In conjunction with AICI3 or AlBr3, as a catalyst for the low-pressure polymerization of ethylene [1] and Its effect on the copolymerization of unsaturated acids has been described [14]. Ge(C2H5)4, In the presence of a base, Is claimed to act as a catalyst for the formation of polyesters [11]. In conjunction with TICI3 It Is an effective catalyst for the 1,3-polymerlzatlon of 3-methyl-1-butene [10]. For the effect of Ge(C2H5)4 on the thermal degradation of poly(vlnyl chloride), see [4]. 

Neutron Irradiation of Ge(C2H5)4 gives the Ge-labeled compound (ti/2 = 11.3 h) which has been used to study the behavior of petroleum products In refining processes [5,12,13]. Ge(C2H5)4 Is said to Improve the spreading properties of low-melting solders [7].
