Germanium(II) dications stabilized by azamacrocycles and crown ethers.
A crown for germanium: Neutral aza- and oxamacrocycles enable stabilization of halide-free germanium(II) dications (see structure, Ge teal, N blue, C gray). The resulting structures show a marked dependence upon the denticity, donor type, and ring size of the macrocycle.
