Abstract
The spatial and electronic structures of molecules with three substituents at the germanium atom (tricoordinated germanium) were calculated by the DFT method (Gaussian-98 program package, B3LYP functional, 6-311G(d,p) basis set). The main characteristics of Ge-X bonds in thee molecules were determined by NBO and AIM procedures. It is shown that Ge-X are weak, "intermediate" type bonds. The bond energies were calculated.
