Abstract

The reaction of bisgermavinylidene [(Me3SiN=PPh2)2C=Ge→Ge=C(PPh 2=NSiMe3)2] (1) with M(CO)5(THF) (M = Cr, W, Mo) afforded the metallagermacyclopropane [(Me3 SiN=PPh2)2CGeM(CO)3{M(CO)5}] [M = W (2), Cr (3), Mo (4)]; in one of the reactions, compound 4 reacts further to give a "pincer" carbene complex [(CO)3Mo{C(Ph2P=NSiMe3)2}] (5); the X-ray structures of compounds 2 and 5 have been determined.
