Trichlorogermane with triphenylamine

The ability of trichlorogermane as an acid to form stable organic salts having the GeCl3 anion was first observed in the study of the reaction of HGeCl3 with triphenylamine. It was found that at room temperature their interaction lead to the formation of an unusual iminium salt, i.e. trichlorogermanate 3,5-fe(trichlorogermyl)cyclohexylidenediphenyliminium 1 in 92% yield (equation 2)35,36. 

The majority of aromatic amines (tribenzylamine, diphenylamine, (V.iV-diethylanilinc) do not undergo hydrogermylation but form aminates with HCieCh which are inert to the action of an excess of IIGeCh. An exception is triphenylamine which, at room temperature, with HGeCl3 forms the unusual iminium salt, 3,5-bis (trichlorogermyl)cyclohexylidenediphenyliminium trichlorogermanate 1 (Section III.C).
