Abstract
The germanium—sulphur bond in Bu 3GeSAr is cleaved by electrophilic reagents. Thus halogens and nitrosyl chloride react to give the disulphide, ArSSAr; sulphenyl chlorides, Ar′SCl, give ArSSAr′; sulphur chlorides, SCl 2 and S 2Cl 2, give tri- and tetrasulphides, ArSSSAr and ArSSSSAr, respectively. Metathetic reactions also occur with triphenylmethyl chloride and phenylmercury chloride. The germanium sulphides appear to be less reactive than the corresponding tin sulphides.
