Indium Corp. GeCl4 Germanium Tetrachloride
Categories:	Ceramic; Halide
Material Notes:	Germanium tetrachloride is a colorless liquid. It is used as an intermediate in the production of purified germanium dioxide and germanium metal, but more predominantly used as a reagent in fiber optic production. In fiber optics, germanium tetrachloride is converted into germanium dioxide and then deposited, along with silicon dioxide, using vapor deposition techniques. Germanium dioxide provides a higher refractive index fiber core, which prevents signal loss during transmission. Characteristics: Synonyms: Germanium (IV) Chloride, GeCl4 CAS Number: 10038-98-9 EC Number: 233-116-7 RTECS: LY5225000 Purity: > 99.999% Appearance/Form: Colorless fuming liquid Solubility: Reacts with water releasing toxic fumes. Soluble in ether, benzene and chloroform. Insoluble in HCl, H2SO4. Information Provided by Indium Corporation
