title: Formation and structures of germanium(II) Aryloxo/oxo clusters.
abstract: The reaction of Ge[N(SiMe(3))(2)](2) with a phenol lacking a substituent in one ortho position results in the formation of polynuclear clusters having terminal aryloxide ligands and bridging O atoms. Structures of this type have not been observed for germanium(II) aryloxides before, and the source of the bridging O atoms in these clusters was determined to be the phenol reactant.
