metal-organic compounds
[Ge(C6H4O2)2(CH3OH)2].2CH3OH was prepared from germanium dioxide and catechol in refluxing H2O followed by refluxing the crude product in methanol; the product was identified by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analysis. The complex has a slightly distorted octahedral structure with two methanol ligands in axial positions and two bidentate deprotonated catechols in the equatorial positions. The Ge-O bonds involving the methanol groups are longer than the Ge--O bonds involving the catechol ligands.
