Abstract

The reactivity study of a pyridyl-1-azaallylgermanium(I) dimer LGe-GeL [1; L = N(SiMe3)C(Ph)C(SiMe3)(C5H4N-2)] with different stoichiometric ratios of elemental selenium and tellurium is described. The reactions of 1 with 1 equiv of selenium and tellurium afforded the first examples of heavier ether analogues of germanium, bis(germylene) selenide and telluride LGe(μ-E)GeL [E = Se (2) and Te (3)], respectively. Meanwhile, the reactions of 1 with 2 equiv of selenium and tellurium gave the heavier ester analogues LGe=E(μ-E)GeL [E = Se (4) and (5)]. All compounds have been characterized by X-ray crystallography and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy.
