Raman spectra and IR spectra of 3-triphenylgermyl-1,1-diphenyl-1-butanol and its derivatives

The Raman spectra and FTIR spectra of S-triphenylgermyl-1,1-diphenyl-1-propanol (A), 3-triphenylgermyl-1,1-diphenyl-1-butanol (B) and 3-triphenylgermyl-2-methyl-1,1-diphenyl-1-propanol (C) have been measured and analyzed. In Raman spectra of these compounds, the Ge-Ph stretching vibrations are near 1 000 cm(-1),and the Ge-C stretching vibrations are 594.1(for A), 578.7 (for B), 599.2 cm(-1)(for C). The spectra show that the three compounds have similar molecular vibration characteristics.
