Synthesis and characterization of a germanium bismethanediide complex.
The reaction of [(PPh(2)=S)(2)CH(2)] (1) with MeLi followed by a salt elimination reaction with GeCl(4) in toluene afforded a novel germanium bismethanediide complex, 2. The structure of compound 2 has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The topological analysis of the electron densities of compound 2 was performed.
