The thermolysis of hexamesitylcyclotrigermane 1 in the presence of triethylsilane at 105 deg C yields dimesityl(triethylsilyl)germane 2 and 1,1,1,2-tetramesityl(2-triethylsilyl)digermane 3; the molecular structure of 3 has been determined by X-ray crystallography.

The addition reactions of tetramesitylgermasilene with methyl vinyl ketone (MVK), crotonaldehyde, and acrylonitrile were studied. When tetramesitylgermasilene was allowed to react with MVK, [2 + 4] cycloaddition and nonregioselective carbonyl [2 + 2] cycloaddition products were isolated. When tetramesitylgermasilene was allowed to react with crotonaldehyde, the carbonyl [2 + 2] adduct was produced exclusively. The regiochemistry was not determined. The addition of acrylonitrile to tetramesitylgermasilene yielded a germasilacyclobutane, which is the formal [2 + 2] cycloadduct between the germasilene and the C-C double bond of acrylonitrile. Tetramesityldisilene was also found to yield a formal [2 + 2] adduct with acrylonitrile. However, tetramesityldigermene rearranges to a germylgermylene at a faster rate than acrylonitrile addition.
