title: Isomeric forms of divalent heavier group 14 element hydrides: characterization of Ar'(H)GeGe(H)Ar' and Ar'(H)(2)GeGeAr'.PMe(3) (Ar' = C(6)H(3)-2,6-Dipp(2); Dipp = C(6)H(3)-2,6-Pr(i)(2)).
abstract: The reduction of Ar'GeCl (Ar' = C6H3-2,6-Dipp2; Dipp = C6H3-2,6-Pri2) with LiBH(Bus)3 affords the first heavier group 14 element dimetallene hydride Ar'(H)GeGe(H)Ar' which, upon further reaction with PMe3, yields the base-stabilized isomeric form Ar'(H)2GeGeAr'.PMe3.
