A luminescent and dichroic hexagermane.
The hexagermane Pr(i)3Ge(GePh2)4GePr(i)3 has been synthesized and is not only the first such linear oligogermane to be structurally characterized but also is the first such compound to exhibit fluorescence and dichroic properties when observed under different orientations of plane polarized visible light.
