Abstract

Abstract Germanium-containing organic polymers are obtained by polymerizing 3-trichlorogermylpropionic acid obtained by reacting halogermanium-phosphoric acid complexes with acrylic acid. The polymers are markedly effective in mental diseases, disturbances in heart and vascular systems and are also effective against various cancers.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 87 words
A germanium-containing organic polymer represented by the formula: ##STR16## wherein A represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, --COOH, --COOR (wherein R is an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms), ##STR17## B represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; Z represents a hydroxy group, an alkoxy group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and n is an integer greater than 3, inclusive.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 87 words
A germanium-containing organic polymer represented by the formula: ##STR16## wherein A represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, --COOH, --COOR (wherein R is an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms), ##STR17## B represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; Z represents a hydroxy group, an alkoxy group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and n is an integer greater than 3, inclusive.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 43 words
The germanium-containing organic polymer as claimed in claim 1 wherein said A is a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, --COOH, ##STR18## B is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; and Z is a hydroxy group, a methoxy group or a methyl group.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 46 words
The germanium-containing organic polymer as claimed in claim 2 wherein said A is a hydrogen atom, a methyl group or --COOH; B is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; and Z is a hydroxy group, a methoxy group, an ethoxy group or a methyl group.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 175 words
A process for producing germanium-containing organic polymer represented by the formula (III) or (IV) as given in claim 1 which comprises reacting a halogermanium-phosphoric acid complex obtained by treating germanium dioxide with hypophosphorous acid or a salt thereof in hydrohalogenic acid with a compound (I) represented by the formula: ##STR19## wherein A is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, --COOH, --COOR (wherein R is an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms), ##STR20## B is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and Z is a hydroxy group, an alkoxy group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, to obtain a compound (II) represented by the formula: ##STR21## wherein A, B and Z have the same meanings as defined above, and X is a halogen atom; and then dissolving said compound (II) in an organic solvent and adding water to the solution thus obtained so as to obtain a white needle crystalline polymer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 55 words
The process for producing the germanium-containing organic polymer as claimed in claim 4 wherein said compound of the formula (I) wherein A is a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, --COOH, ##STR22## B is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and Z is a hydroxy group, a methoxy group or a methyl group, is employed.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 57 words
The process for producing the germanium-containing organic polymer as claimed in claim 5 wherein said compound of the formula wherein A is a hydrogen atom, a methyl group or --COOH; B is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; and Z is a hydroxy group, a methoxy group, an ethoxy group or a methyl group, is employed.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 46 words
The process for producing the germanium-containing organic polymer as claimed in claim 4 wherein a germanium-containing organic low molecular weight polymer is prepared by dissolving said compound of the formula (II) in acetone or other solvent miscible with water and pouring water into the resulting solution.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 73 words
The process for producing the germanium-containing organic compound as claimed in claim 4 wherein a germanium-containing organic high molecular weight polymer is obtained by settling a suspension of a germanium-containing organic low molecular weight polymer in a small amount of water, said germanium-containing organic low molecular weight polymer being obtained by dissolving the compound of the formula (II) in acetone or other solvent miscible with water and pouring water into the resulting solution.
