The syntheses of a zwitterionic base-stabilized digermadistannacyclobutadiene and tetragermacyclobutadiene supported by amidinates and low-valent germanium amidinate substituents are described. The reaction of the amidinate GeI dimer, [LGe:]2 (1, L=PhC(NtBu)2), with two equivalents of the amidinate...
