Metal-induced formation of a new chiral bidentate N,O ligand and the synthesis of novel monomeric germylenes.
Lithiation of the N-benzyl substituted diketoamine ligand PhCH(2)-N[CH(2)C(tBu=O](2) with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) affords a novel chiral anionic N,O-ligand L; LiL reacts with GeCl(2).dioxane to give the corresponding new monomeric germylenes LGeCl and L(2)Ge.
