Abstract

The addition of I2 to the bis-germylene complex [(Me 3Si)C(PMe2)2]2Ge2 (GeI-GeI) (1) surprisingly results in the oxidation of only one Ge atom and rearrangement of one of the phosphinomethanide ligands; the Gel2 formed is complexed by a chelating germylene-phosphine ligand in the form of a homonuclear donor-acceptor complex.
