This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I program will investigate the use of germanium tetrafluoride (GeF4) as an agent to fluorinate organic molecules. Preliminary experiments show that GeF4 possesses unique fluorinating properties as a direct fluorinating agent or in indirect use as a component of a catalyst system. The fluorinating ability of GeF4 can be employed, for example, in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, fluorocarbons from chlorinated intermediates, and fluorinated coatings for a variety of surfaces. When the full potential of GeF4 as a fluorinating agent is realized industries will gain significant economic benefits and an environmentally more benign fluorination process.

这个小企业创新研究第一阶段计划将研究使用四氟化锗（GeF4）作为氟化有机分子的试剂。初步实验表明，GeF_4作为直接氟化剂或间接用作催化剂体系的组分具有独特的氟化性能。GeF4的氟化能力可用于制造特种化学品、氯化中间体的碳氟化合物以及各种表面的氟化涂层。当GeF4作为氟化剂的全部潜力被实现时，工业将获得显著的经济效益和环境更友好的氟化过程。
