Six-membered cyclic germoxanes (R2GeO)3 were selectively prepared via the thermal reaction of (alkyl)2GeH 2 in dimethylformamide (DMF). Linear metallagermoxanes with an E-O-Ge-O-E backbone (E = Si, Ge, Sn) were prepared by the reaction of Ph 2GeH2 with R3EH in DMF. Their cyclic and linear germoxane formations were achieved using an iron catalyst, (η(5)-C 5H5)Fe(CO)2Me. An iron carbene complex was proposed to be an intermediate in the catalytic reaction.
