Abstract
Dichlorogermylporphyrins have been obtained from the reaction of GeCl4 or GeCl2. dioxane with porphyrin TMPyPH2, TAPPH2 and TPPSH2 in quinoline or pyridine. These dichlorogermyl porphyrins reacted in pyridine with HSCH2CH2NH.X (X=H.HCl, -(CH2)3NH2.2HCl) to lead to germylporphyrins with new ligands on germanium : cysteamine and N-(2-thioethyl)-1,3-diami nopropane hydrochloride.
