    In this video you’ll be able to see germane, even though it’s colorless and you can’t feel its awful smell through your display. We will get germane by the reaction of lithium aluminum hydridie in dry diethyl ether and germanium tetrachloride.

      @@nablo5208 Schott was the company before the war, with one big branch in Jena, former East Germany.
      When there were two German states in the West it went under Schott Duran, the Jena branch in the GDR renamed into Jenaer Glass or Jenaglas. The brandname Duran however was Western, the Jena factory in the East brandnamed it Rasotherm in the 70s or so.
      However the Eastern Jena factory was the basis, Otto Schott invented the Borosilicate Glas in 1884 in Jena.
      Hence the former East German glassware is from the "mother company" of Borosilicate glass.
      BTW 70% or so of my glasware is out of former East German labs, from Jena. Can't get any better qualitywise (same as Duran).

    This is a truly great video! Thank you for these series!
    Speaking of Germanium, there is a tiny yet long-standing puzzle associated with its volatile compounds that keeps me awake.
    The paper "Reaction of (CF3)2Hg with Group 4A Tetrahalides. Preparation and Stabilities of (Trifluoromethyl)germanium and (Trifluoromethyl)tin Compounds." by R. J. Lagow, R. Eujen, L. L. Gershman, J. A. Morrison (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 100 [1978] 1722/6) reports preparation and properties of tris (trifluoromethyl)fluorogermane, (CF3)3GeF. Its' extrapolated boiling point is reported as +19.l C, while its melting point is given as +(27-30) C. That ambiguity leaves it somewhat open whether this compound is actually *a gas* under the normal conditions.
    Why would that be interesting? The standard mw. of (CF3)3GeF is 298.65, which -- theoretically -- makes it just 0.3% denser than the currently recognized densest gas, WF6. Of course, provided that (CF3)3GeF *is* a gas, which we don't really know.
    Just a note. Something curious in exchange for your great work. Thank you again!

These kinds of reactions often tend to be pretty sensitive to the quantities of reagents used and the presence of contaminants, all glassware must be super clean/dry etc.
