Sterically protected dipotassium germanedithiolate

The germanedithiols Dmp(Ar)Ge(SH)2 [Dmp=2,6-dimesitylphenyl; Ar = Dep (2,6-diethylphenyl) 1a, Tip (2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl) 1b] were synthesized by the reduction of hexathiagermepanes Dmp(Ar)GeS6 and tetrathiagermolanes Dmp(Ar)GeS4 with NaBH4. The treatment of 1a with 2 equiv of potassium hydride afforded the dipotassium germanedithiolate 2.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7-Hexathiagermepanes: Synthesis, structures, and the ring contraction to 1,2,3,4,5-tetrathiagermolanes

The first 1,2,3,4,5,6,7-hexathiagermepanes Dmp(Ar)GeS6 [Dmp=2,6-dimesitylphenyl, Ar= Mes, Dep (2,6-diethylphenyl), Tip (2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)] were synthesized along with 1,2,3,4,5-tetrathiagermolanes by sulfurization of the corresponding dihydrogermanes. The hexathiagermepane Dmp(Tip)GeS6 slowly converted to the tetrathiagermolane with release of elemental sulfur owing to the steric hindrance.
