Deprotonation of 1‐mesityl‐4,5‐diphenyl‐2‐imidazole 1 with nBuLi, followed by salt metathesis reaction with GeCl2·dioxane complex, led to the formation of the chlorogermyliumylidene 2 bearing two Ge–Cl units, which has been isolated and fully characterized by standard spectroscopic and X‐ray diffrac...
