Germanium-based polymers are described. In one embodiment, a germanium-based polymer includes a structure given by the formula: [GeR]n, wherein n is a non-negative integer that is at least one, and R is selected from a wide variety of groups, such as alkyl groups, alkenyl groups, alkynyl groups, aryl groups, iminyl groups, and so forth. Also described are methods of forming germanium-based polymers, methods of forming nanoparticles from germanium-based polymers, methods of forming nanostructured materials from germanium-based polymers, nanoparticles formed from germanium-based polymers, nanostructured materials formed from germanium-based polymers, and devices formed from germanium-based polymers.
