Germanium nanowires, ranging from 10 to 150 nm in diameter, were grown several micrometers in length in cyclohexane heated and pressurized above its critical point. Alkanethiol-protected gold nanocrystals, either 2.5 or 6.5 nm in diameter, were used to seed wire formation. Growth proceeded through a solution-liquid-solid mechanism at growth temperatures ranging from 300 to 450 degrees C. At temperatures exceeding 500 degrees C, large Ge particulates formed due to unfavorable growth kinetics. Temperature, the nature of the precursor, precursor concentration, and the Au:Ge ratio were determining factors in nanowire morphology. The Ge nanowires were characterized using a range of techniques, including XPS, XRD, high-resolution TEM and SEM, nanometer-scale EDS mapping, and DTA.

The new layered germanate structure Na4Ge16O28(OH)12 has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, FTIR, and SEM. The crystal lattice parameters are a = 7.3216(6) A, b = 14.3986(9) A, c = 7.7437(6) A, alpha = 90.0 degrees, beta = 100.179(7) degrees, gamma = 90.0 degrees, and V = 803.5(1) A3. The space group is C2/m with Z = 1. The germanium oxide sheets are connected non-covalently via electrostatic interactions with the sodium cations and H-bridging. At temperatures above 400 degrees C, the structure starts decomposing into sodium enneagermanate (Na4Ge9O20), germanium dioxide, and water as determined by powder X-ray diffraction, TGA, DTA, DSC, and GCMS.

Germanium apatite was synthesized via the solid-state reaction between GeO(2) and (NH(4))(3)PO(4). The synthesized materials were characterized using XRD, and thermal analysis was carried out using TG-DTA. Ge(2)P(2)O(7) was preferentially produced at temperatures between 300-900 degrees C, and at temperatures above 1000 degrees C, germanium apatite (Ge(5)O(PO(4))(6), GeAp) was synthesized. In solubility tests, 0.36% and 0.65% of Ge ions were liberated from GeAp powder in distilled water at 37 and 80 degrees C after four weeks, respectively. A GeAp aqueous solution maintained at 37 degrees C was strongly acidic with a pH=1.67 after four weeks. The growth rate of human adult gingival fibroblast cells in a medium that included GeAp, HA, and GeO(2) was investigated. The growth rate of the cells in a 0.1 mg/ml GeAp medium was almost the same as that in the control. The cell growth was restricted in a 1.0 mg/ml GeAp medium, whereas the cell growth in a pH-adjusted 1.0 mg/ml GeAp medium at pH=7.60 was higher than that in non-adjusted medium at pH = 7.06.

A new two-dimensional framework germanate, Ge3O5(OH)4[C2N2H10] (denoted ICMM-8), with a 3:9 Ge:O ratio has been synthesized, using a mixture of pyridine, water, and ethanol as the solvent and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane and ethylenediamine as the structure-directing agents, under solvothermal conditions. The structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In this new compound, the GeO2 natrolite-type infinite four and eight R-containing layers appears for the first time in a pure GeO2 framework. The total 2D structure is built up from SBU-6, four tetrahedra, and two octahedra. The hydroxyl groups occupy four positions of each octahedral germanium atom. The compound is characterized by IR spectra and TGA-DTA. Crystal data: Ge3O5(OH)4[C2N2H10], monoclinic space group P2(1)/c; a = 11.3570(9) Angstroms, b = 8.8819(7) Angstroms, c = 9.9200(8) Angstroms, beta = 90.710(1), V = 1000.6(1) Angstroms(3), Z = 4, R(1) = 0.044 (I > 2(I)), and wR(2) = 0.1051 (all data).

The title compound with the formula (Me2NH2)13H5[{alpha2-P2W17O61(Si2O)}3(micro-O)3].39H2O Me2NH(2)-1 was obtained in 12.8% (0.258 g scale) yield by a 1:2 molar ratio reaction of alpha2-mono-lacunary Dawson polyoxometalate (POM) [alpha2-P2W17O61]10- with SiCl4 in water and unequivocally characterized by complete elemental analysis, TG/DTA, FTIR, (solution and solid-state) 31P NMR, solid-state 29Si NMR and X-ray crystallography. [Note: the moieties of the polyoxoanions in Me2NH(2)-1 and Me2NH(2)-2 are abbreviated simply as 1 and 2, respectively.] X-Ray crystallography revealed that the molecular structure of polyoxoanion 1 was a cyclic trimer consisting of three alpha2-mono-lacunary Dawson POM subunits constituted through intra- and intermolecular siloxane bonds. The compound resulted in an approximate Cs symmetry, but not the idealized C3v symmetry, because one Dawson unit was unequivalently incorporated into the cyclic framework. This compound is the first example of a siloxane-bonding cyclic trimer of POMs and its formation suggests that the oxygen atoms in the lacunary site of POM are reactive just like the surface oxygen atoms of silica. The formation of the cyclic trimer was also clarified by two control experiments: (1) the reaction of [alpha2-P2W17O61]10- with Si(OEt)4 under acidic conditions (pH 1), and (2) oligomerization under 6 M aqueous HCl acidic conditions (pH approximately 0) of the reactive monomer units (RMUs: tentatively assigned as "[alpha2-P2W17O61{O(SiOH)2}]6-"), derived from the cleavage of Ph-Si bonds by the thermal degradation of [alpha2-P2W17O61{O(SiPh)2}]6-. On the other hand, the reactions of alpha2-mono-lacunary Dawson POMs with GeX4 (X=OEt, Cl) gave the monomeric species of mono-germanium-substituted Dawson POM (Me2NH2)7[alpha2-P2W17O61(GeOH)].5H2O Me2NH(2)-2, which was characterized by CHN analysis, TG/DTA, FTIR, X-ray crystallography, and (solid-state and solution) 31P NMR spectroscopy. X-ray crystallography revealed that compound Me2NH(2)-2 was a monomeric species, but the Ge site per formula unit was not determined due to disorder of alpha-Dawson structure.
