Abstract

A series of silicon and germanium compounds with amidinate ligands have been synthesized and investigated spectroscopically and structurally. In contrast to silicon, germanium also forms stable compounds with amidinate ligands in the +2 valence state with remarkable stuctural features. Bis-anionic amidinate ligands at silicon centers provide bridging bonding modes which differ from those described in earlier reports.
