Kupfergermanat is a chemical compound of the copper from the group of germanates .

Extraction and presentation

Copper germanate can be obtained by reacting copper or copper (II) oxide with germanium dioxide .

properties

Copper germanate is a green-blue solid. It has an orthorhombic crystal structure with the space group Pbmm (space group no. 51, position 3) . At high pressures there is a transition to a monoclinic crystal structure. The junction exhibits a specific magnetic behavior known as the Peierls transition at 14K. It was the first inorganic compound discovered to show this behavior. Template: room group / 51.3
