Hexakis(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)tetragermabuta-1,3-diene (2) is easily accessible by the reaction of the Grignard compound RMgBr, R = 2,4,6-iPr3C6H2, with GeCl2·dioxane and magnesium. Treatment of 2 with sulfur furnishes a thiatetragermacyclopentene derivative with an endocyclic Ge=Ge double bond. The reaction of 2 with dry air yields a compound with a 2,4,7,8-tetraoxa-1,3,5,6-tetragermabicyclo[4.1.1]octane skeleton.
