Abstract

Photochemical, chemical, and plasma chemical procedures for preparing digermane were studied experimentally. The plasma chemical procedure in corona discharge is the most promising. The kinetic curves of the digermane synthesis in corona discharge were obtained experimentally, and the activation energy was calculated. The removal of digermane from the reaction zone using a flow-through reactor with partial condensation of digermane in the first step and germane in the second step allows the digermane yield to be increased to 96%.
