title: Platinum complexes containing pyramidalized germanium and tin dihalide ligands bound through σ,σ M=E multiple bonds.
abstract: We present the isolation of the first mononuclear dihalogermylene, and mono- and dinuclear stannylene complexes of transition metals. These exhibit exceptionally pyramidalized Group 14 centers. Additionally, removal of the halide substituents from the Ge/Sn atom was successfully performed in two ways, halide abstraction and reduction, leading to a variety of unusual structural motifs.
