First results on the redox chemistry of Ge I bromide are reported herein. During the attempt to solubilize Ge I Br, which is synthesized in preparative scale using a co‐condensation technique of the high‐temperature molecule Ge I Br, a redox reaction with the solvent acetone occurs. During this unexpected redox reaction Ge I is oxidized to Ge IV and acetone is reductively coupled to 1,1‐dimethyl‐3‐oxobutan‐1‐yl. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005)
