Germanium cubed: Addition of [Ge{N-(SiMe3)2} 2] to a suspension of RSi(OH)3 (R = (2,6-iPr 2C6H3)N(SiMe3)) in hexane/ THF affords the germanium siloxane 1 with terminal Ge-H units in good yield. Compound 1 contains a Ge4O12Si4 cubic polyhedron core in which the corners of the cube are alternately occupied by germanium and silicon atoms. Each of the twelve edges of the cube contains one bridging oxygen atom.
