Reactions of lithium salts of the bulky guanidinate ligands, [ArNC(NR 2)NAr]- (NR2 = N(C6H 11)2 (Giso-) and cis-NC5H 8Me2-2,6 (Pipiso-); Ar = C6H 3Pri2-2,6), with GeCl2?dioxane afforded the heteroleptic germylenes, [(Giso)GeCl] and [(Pipiso)GeCl], the former of which was structurally characterised. The further reactivity of these and the related complexes, [(Piso)GeCl] and [(Priso)GeCl] (Piso- = [ArNC(But)NAr]-, Priso- = [ArNC(NPr i2)NAr]-) has been investigated. Salt elimination reactions have yielded the new monomeric complexes, [(Piso)Ge(NPri2)] and [(Piso)GeFeCp(CO)2], whilst a ligand displacement reaction afforded the heterometallic species, [(Piso)Ge(Cl){W(CO)5}]. Chloride abstraction from [(Priso)GeCl] with GaCl3 has given the structurally characterised contact ion pair, [(Priso)Ge][GaCl4]. In addition, the inconclusive outcome of a number of attempts to reduce the germanium halide complexes are discussed. The Royal Society of Chemistry.
