The Preparation of Complexes of Germanone from a Germanium mu-Oxo Dimer

摘要

Complexes of germanone containing formal Ge=O -> M bonds (M = Zn, B, Ge, Sn) were isolated and characterized. The compounds were prepared through a novel synthetic route using a germanium mu-oxo dimer 3 as the starting material. This method circumvents the need to employ germanones to prepare complexes of germanones.
