## Abstract The ion–molecule reactions occurring in GeH~4~/NF~3~, GeH~4~/SF~6~, and GeH~4~/SiF~4~ gaseous mixtures have been investigated by ion trap mass spectrometry and __ab initio__ calculations. While the NF~__x__~^+^ (__x__ = 1–3) react with GeH~4~ mainly by the exothermic charge transfer, th

✦ Synopsis
Germane-propane and germane-propene gaseous mixtures were studied by ion trap mass spectrometry. Variations of ion abundances observed under different partial pressure ratios and mechanisms of ion-molecule reactions elucidated by multiple isolation steps are reported. In addition, the rate constants for the main reactions were experimentally determined and compared with the collisional rate constants to obtain the reaction efficiencies. The yield of ions containing both Ge and C atoms is higher in the germane-propene than in the germane-propane system. In the former mixture, chain propagation takes place starting from germane ions reacting with propene and proceeds with the formation of clusters such as Ge(2)C(4)H(n) (+) and Ge(3)CH(n) (+).
