Tristrimethylsilylgermane, (Me3Si)3GeH, was employed as a molecular model compound for hydrogen terminated Ge(111) surfaces. Time and temperature dependent NMR spectroscopy yielded rate constants for the reaction between (Me3Si)3GeH and elemental sulfur and allowed for the determination of the activation energy for this molecular model reaction to mimic germanium surface passivation.
