The reaction of GeCl2·dioxane with 1,4-diazabutadiene compounds [(HCNAr)2, Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H 3, (1); Ar = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2, (2)] leads to the formation of dichlorogermane derivatives [{N(2,6-iPr 2C6H3)CH}2]GeCl2 (3) and [{N(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)CH}2]GeCl 2 (4) respectively. The reaction of compound 2 with SiCl 2·NHC (NHC = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidine) (5) results in the formation of dichlorosilane [{N(2,4,6-Me3C 6H2)CH}2]SiCl2 (6) which is the precursor for the synthesis of N-heterocyclic silylene. Furthermore the reaction of dichlorogermane 3 with two equivalents of AlH3·NMe 3 in toluene leads to the dihydrogermane [{N(2,6-iPr 2C6H3)CH}2]GeH2 (7). Interestingly this dihydrogermane (7) is dehydrogenated by the frustrated Lewis pair, N-heterocyclic carbene (1,3-di-tert-butylimidazol-2-ylidene) and tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane, to form the N-heterocyclic germylene [{N(2,6-iPr2C6H3)CH}2]Ge (8).
