Reaction of GeF 4 with fluoride sources produces GeF 5 − anions with octahedral coordination around Ge atom due to polymerization. [6] The structural characterization of a discrete trigonal bipyramidal GeF 5 − anion was achieved by a "naked" fluoride reagent 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolium fluoride.
Under normal conditions GeI 4 is a solid, GeF 4 a gas and the others volatile liquids. For example, germanium tetrachloride, GeCl 4, is obtained as a colorless fuming liquid boiling at 83.1 °C by heating the metal with chlorine. [4] All the tetrahalides are readily hydrolyzed to hydrated germanium dioxide. [4]
A notable derivative of GeCl 4 is germanium dioxide.In the manufacture of optical fibers, silicon tetrachloride, SiCl 4, and germanium tetrachloride, GeCl 4, are introduced with oxygen into a hollow glass preform, which is carefully heated to allow for oxidation of the reagents to their respective oxides and formation of a glass mixture.
The reaction with borohydrides is catalyzed by various acids and can be carried out in either aqueous or organic solvent. On laboratory scale, germane can be prepared by the reaction of Ge(IV) compounds with these hydride reagents. [4] [5] A typical synthesis involved the reaction of sodium germanate with potassium borohydride. [6]

Potassium hexafluoroantimonate can be prepared by reacting potassium pyroantimonate K 2 H 2 Sb 2 O 7 with hydrogen fluoride or by treating the product of the reaction of a mixture of solid antimony(III) oxide and potassium hydroxide with hydrogen peroxide solution (30%) with hydrochloric acid (48%). [3]
Reactions have been conducted in a vacuum and under both inert or reactive gases. The temperature of the reaction can be moderated by the addition of inert salt that absorbs heat in the process of melting or evaporation, such as sodium chloride , or by adding "chemical oven"—a highly exothermic mixture—to decrease the ratio of cooling.
Germanium(IV) nitride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ge 3 N 4. It can be produced through the reaction of germanium and ammonia : [ 1 ] 3 Ge + 4 NH 3 → Ge 3 N 4 + 6 H 2
