The trimethylgermanium cation (Me 3 Ge + ) reacts with aliphatic organic neutrals (M) which contain N, O or S, to form adducts [M + Me 3 Ge + ] in the gas phase. These adducts are more stable than their analogues formed from the trimethylsilyl cation, and thus Me 3 Ge + is a useful analytical reagent for chemical ionization mass spectrometry.
