The dipole moments of ten derivatives of (1-adamantyl)germane (I)-(X) of general formula 1-AdGeR/sub 3//sup i/, in which R/sub 3//sup i/=H/sub 3/ (I), Me/sub 3/ (II), Cl/sub 3/ (III), Br/sub 3/ (IV), I/sub 3/ (V), Me/sub 2/H (VI), Me/sub 2/Cl (VII), (OMe)/sub 3/ (VIII), (OEt)/sub 3/ (IX), (OCHME/sub 2/)/sub 3/ (X), and four tert-butyl derivatives of germanium t-BuGeR/sub 3/ were studied, in which R = Me (XI), Cl (XII), Br(XIII), I (XIV). As a result of the investigation of the ten derivatives, the enhanced polarity of these compounds relative to the usual alkylgermanes was show, which was associated with both the peculiarities of the structure of the adamantane skeleton, and with the high mobility of electron density in the GeX/sub 3/ group. The adamantyl substitutent showed acceptor properties.
