The synthesis of a germylidenide anion by the C-C bond activation of a bis(germylene) is described. The reaction of the 2,6-bis(imino)phenyl bromide 1 with nBuLi, followed by reacting with GeCl2·dioxane, afforded the chlorogermylene [LGeCl] (2, L = 2,6-(HCNtBu)2C6H3). It was then reacted with 1 equi...
