This Communication describes two strikingly different reactivities of a digermylene [{PhC(NtBu)2}2Ge2] (1) featuring a GeI?GeI single bond. In the reaction with azobenzene, 1 affords the oxidative addition product LGeN(Ph)N(Ph)GeL [2; L = PhC(NtBu) 2], with simultaneous cleavage of the Ge?Ge bond, whereas treatment of 1 with Fe2(CO)9 yields the Lewis acid?base adduct LGe[Fe(CO)4]Ge[(Fe(CO)4]L (3). Both compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis.
