Synthesis, Structure, Electrochemical Properties, and Antioxidant Activity of Organogermanium(IV) Catecholate Complexes.

ABSTRACT: A series of novel organogermanium(IV) catecholates 1-9 of the general formula R'₂Ge(Cat), where R' = Ph, Et, have been synthesized. Compounds were characterized by ¹H, ¹³C NMR, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The molecular structures of 1-3, 6, and 8 in crystal state were established using single-crystal X-ray analysis. The complexes are tetracoordinate germanium(IV) compounds containing a dioxolene ligand in a dianion (catecholato) form. Electrochemical transformations of target germanium(IV) complexes have been studied by cyclic voltammetry. The electro-oxidation mechanism of complexes 1-5, 7, and 10 (the related complex Ph₂Ge(3,5-Cat) where 3,5-Cat is 3,5-di-tert
