title: Insertion of SO2 into a sulfide-bridged M-Ge bond: synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of the O-germyl-S-sulfoxylate.
abstract: Addition of SO(2) to [formula: see text](1) results in the insertion of SO(2) into the Pd-Ge bond to give the O-germyl-S-sulfoxylate insertion isomer (Et3P)2Pd(mu-S)S(O)OGe[N(SiMe3)2]2 (2). Heating solutions of 2 results in the formation of (Et3P)Pd(SGe[N(SiMe3)2]2OSOGe[N(SiMe3)2]2S) (3) and a LnPd(0) fragment. X-ray crystal structures of 2 and 3 are reported.
