Abstract
A PREVIOUS communication1 described the formation in aqueous solution of a number of definite stoichiometric complexes of germanic acid and organic hydroxy acids. These complexes were identified mainly by conductimetric, polarimetric and pH measurements. Further work has been carried out on other organic hydroxy acids using the same procedures, and this has resulted in the identification of five more complex acids of germanium. Acids identified are summarized in Table 1.
