The synthesis and characterization of the digermylenes [LGe–GeL] [L = L1 (3A), L2 (3B)] supported by the 2,6-diiminophenyl (L1) and 2-imino-5,6-methylenedioxylphenyl (L2) ligands are described. Their reactivities toward potassium graphite are also reported. The reaction of [LGeCl] [L = L1 (2A), L2 (...
