Sodium germanate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na2GeO3. It exists as a colorless solid. Sodium germanate is primarily used for the synthesis of other germanium compounds.

Preparation and reactions[edit]

Sodium germanate can be prepared by the fusion of germanium oxide with sodium hydroxide at high temperatures:

2 NaOH + GeO2 → Na2GeO3 + H2O

An intermediate in this reaction is the protonated derivative NaHGeO3, which is a water-soluble salt.

Structure[edit]

it is structurally analogous to sodium metasilicate, Na2SiO3, consisting of polymeric GeO32− anions made up of vertex sharing {GeO4} tetrahedra.[1][2]
