The syntheses and structures of heteroleptic germanium(II) and tin(II) chlorides supported by anionic ligands derived from 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-diaza-1,3-butadiene are described. The reaction of ArN=C(Me)C(Me)=NAr (L, Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) with MeLi in Et2O, followed by treatment with GeCl2·dioxane or SnCl...
