Chlorotriethylgermane, with the CAS number 994-28-5, is an organogermanium compound characterized by the presence of a germanium atom bonded to three ethyl groups and one chlorine atom. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its volatility and low viscosity. The compound exhibits a tetrahedral geometry around the germanium center, similar to other organometallic compounds. Chlorotriethylgermane is primarily used in the field of organometallic chemistry and as a precursor in the synthesis of germanium-containing materials, including semiconductors and other electronic components. It is also utilized in chemical vapor deposition processes. Due to the presence of chlorine, it can be reactive, particularly in the presence of nucleophiles, and may release hydrochloric acid upon hydrolysis. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it can be harmful if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate protective measures should be taken to avoid skin and eye contact.

Triethylgermaniumchloride is an organometallic compound that has been used as a light-emitting catalyst, a polymerization catalyst, and an antimicrobial agent. Triethylgermaniumchloride has been shown in vitro to have antibacterial properties against gram-positive bacteria. It binds to the hydroxyl group of lipids and destroys bacterial cell membrane integrity by releasing hydrogen chloride. Triethylgermaniumchloride also enhances the immune system by inhibiting autoimmune diseases such as arthritis and lupus erythematosus.
