(Chemical Equation Presented) A new activation mode of aryl germanium(II) chlorides at electron-rich metal centers leads to compounds featuring metal-germanium triple bonds. Reaction of 1 with RGeCl affords the hydridogermylidene complex 2, which rearranges thermally to give the germylidyne complex 3 (see scheme; Trip = C6H2-2,4,6-iPr 3). In contrast, the reaction of [Mo(PMe3)6] with RGeCl yields directly the germylidyne complex trans-[CI(PMe 3)4Mo≡GeR].
