Bis(dimethylgermyl)alkane ruthenium tetracarbonyls (n = 1, 2) are obtained by reaction of bis(dimethylgermyl)alkanes Me2(H)Ge(CH2)nGe(H)Me2 (n = 1, 2) with Ru3(CO)12 under UV irradiation, or by heating.Various CO substitution reactions with phosphines by heating and cleavage reactions with protonic, electrophilic, nucleophilic or radical reagents are described.X-O oxides (X = Hg, C5H5N, C6H5N, Me2S) are deoxidized by these complexes.
