Synthesis of a manganese germavinylidene complex from bis(germavinylidene).

The reaction of bis(germavinylidene) [(Me3SiN=PPh2)2C=Ge-->Ge=C(PPh2=NSiMe3)2] (1) with CpMn(CO)2(THF) (Cp = eta5-C5H5) in THF afforded [(Me3SiN=PPh2)2C=Ge-->Mn(CO)2Cp] (2). Similar reaction of 1 with (cod)RhCl (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) in THF gave [(Me3SiN=NPPh2)2{(cod)Rh}C-GeCl] (3). The results suggested that reactive germavinylidene may exist in solution. The X-ray structures of 2 and 3 have been determined.

A novel synthesis of metallogermacyclopropane and molybdenum bis(iminophosphorano)carbene complexes from bisgermavinylidene.

The reaction of bisgermavinylidene [(Me3SiN=PPh2)2C=Ge-->Ge=C(PPh2=NSiMe3)2] (1) with M(CO)5(THF) ( M = Cr, W, Mo) afforded the metallagermacyclopropane [(Me-3SiN=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=NSi Me3)2]] (5); the X-ray structures of compounds 2 and 5 have been determined.
