This thesis describes the synthesis of the N-phosphinoamidinato digermynes [LG̈e–G̈eL] (E = Ge, L = tBu2PNC(Ph)NAr, 5: Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3, 6: Ar = Ph) by the reduction of the corresponding chlorogermylenes with KC8. Compounds 5 and 6 underwent reversible oxidative addition with CO2 in toluene at room...
