Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Triphenylgermanium Cumylperoxide

The triphenylgermanium cumylperoxide, Ph3GeOOCm was synthesized and characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction (scXRD), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and elemental analysis. According to the single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis triphenylgermanium cumylperoxide crystallizes in the triclinic $$P\bar {1}$$ space group with Z = 2. The stability of Ph3GeOOCm complex to hydrolysis was characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy in toluene, DMSO, and DMF.
