Ionic nature of Ge(ii)-centered dications: a germaniumK-edge X-ray absorption near edge structures study

Abstract

Measurement of the ionic nature of [Ge(cryptand[2.2.2])]2+ by XANES has provided direct experimental evidence that the germanium center is best described as a nearly-naked dication encased within an electron rich cryptand cage.
