Study on the local atomic structure of germanium in organic germanium compounds by EXAFS

摘要

Organic germanium compounds have been extensively applied in medicine as tonics. In this paper, the local structures of two organic germanium compounds, carboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide and polymeric germanium glutamate, were determined by EXAFS. The structure parameters including coordination numbers and bond lengths were reported, and possible structure patterns were discussed.
