Some new germanium analogues of 1,3-cyclohexadiene, 3,4,5,6-tetraphenyl-, 3,6-diphenyl-, and 3,4,5,6-tetramethyl-l,2-digermacyclohexa-3,5-diene and 3,4,5,6-tetraphenyl-1-germa-2-silacyclohexa-3,5-diene, were prepared and fully characterized by spectroscopic methods. On photolysis, the l,2-digermacyclohexa-3,5-diene underwent extrusion of dialkylgermylene (R2Ge:) to give the corresponding germacyclopentadiene. On irradiation the 1-germa-2-sila-cyclohexa-3,5-diene yielded preferentially the silacyclopentadiene via extrusion of R2Ge:. The mechanism of these photolyses is discussed.
