Application

Germanium(IV) bromide is primarily employed as a versatile chemical agent due to its high purity level of 99.999%. This white crystalline compound, known for its acidic smell, is synthesized through the reaction of germanium with bromine or the combination of germanium dioxide with hydrogen bromide solutions. With an enthalpy of vaporization of 41.4 kJ/mol, Germanium(IV) bromide is notable for its reactivity, particularly its violent reaction with water. However, it is soluble in solvents such as pure ethanol, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, and ether. This makes it an essential germanium source for applications that require compatibility with bromides in acidic conditions. It sees widespread use in laboratories and the manufacturing of various substances.
