Abstract

The microwave spectra of (CH3)374Ge 35Cl and its isotopologues (CH3)3 72Ge35Cl and (CH3)3 74Ge37Cl have been studied in the frequency range from 3-24 GHz revealing the complex internal dynamics of this organometallic molecule with three internal rotors. The assignment of the complex spectrum has been facilitated by permutation-inversion theory and ab initio calculations. The V3 barrier to internal rotation is determined to be 372.359(47) cm-1. Furthermore, an analysis of the chlorine quadrupole coupling yields the description of the Ge-Cl bonding character which is estimated to be dominated by covalent contributions (46.5%) together with 37.6% ionic and 15.9% π-bonding character. From isotopic substitution the Ge-Cl bond distance could be determined as 2.15198(97) Å.
