Germanium(IV) chloride is a reagent in the preparation of colorless crystalline materials. Studies indicate that Germanium(IV) chloride can be used to study low valent germanium compounds. Biologically, Germanium(IV) chloride is useful as a catalyst used to convert carbohydrates into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in ionic liquids. Furthermore, Germanium(IV) chloride is a useful intermediate in the solid phase synthesis of aromatic compounds such as chlorogermane linker 12.
