Abstract
Abstract Equilibria in the scrambling of the exchangeable substituents Cl, Br, and I (System I) and Cl, Br, I, and OC 6 H 5 (System II) between the methylgermanium and dimethylgermanium moieties have been studied quantitatively by proton nuclear magnetic resonance. The experimental data have been evaluated in terms of sets of the minimum number of equilibrium constants, twelve for System I and twenty five for System II, which in turn have been used to compute theoretical equilibrium distributions. As a result of preferential affinities for methylgermanium versus dimethylgermanium, certain species at equilibrium appear in only small amounts or not at all.
