Abstract
A multinuclear germylene complex 2 was afforded by reacting the ylide-like N-heterocyclic germylene LGe (L = CH{(C═CH2)(CMe)[N(Ar)]2}, Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) (1) with GeCl2·dioxane. Complex 2 features a unique Ge4 chain skeleton, which was constructed via 1,4-addition between germylene and GeCl2, followed by the assembly of fragments. X-ray structural analysis and theoretical calculations illustrate the Ge–Ge bonding interaction and a zwitterionic character.
期刊介绍:
Organometallics is the flagship journal of organometallic chemistry and records progress in one of the most active fields of science, bridging organic and inorganic chemistry. The journal publishes Articles, Communications, Reviews, and Tutorials (instructional overviews) that depict research on the synthesis, structure, bonding, chemical reactivity, and reaction mechanisms for a variety of applications, including catalyst design and catalytic processes; main-group, transition-metal, and lanthanide and actinide metal chemistry; synthetic aspects of polymer science and materials science; and bioorganometallic chemistry.
