title: Chlorine-35 solid-state NMR spectroscopy as an indirect probe of germanium oxidation state and coordination environment in germanium chlorides.
abstract: Due to the prevalence of Ge-Cl bonds in germanium chemistry and the inherent challenges of germanium-73 NMR spectroscopy, chlorine-35 NMR spectroscopy was investigated as an indirect method of characterization for these ubiquitous and useful compounds. Chlorine-35 NMR parameters were correlated with structural metrics as well as the oxidation state of germanium.
