Taming the germyliumylidene [CIGe:]~+ and germathionium [CIGe=S]~+ ions by donor-acceptor stabilization using 1,8-bis(tributylphosphazenyl)naphthalene

摘要

The novel chlorogermyliumylidene complex L[ClGe:]~+ (L = 1,8-bis(tri-n-butylphosphanzenyl)naphthalene) with a 'naked' Cl~- as a counter anion was synthesized through reaction of L with Cl_2Ge: and fully characterized. Its reaction with elemental sulfur afforded the first germathionium [ClGe=S]~+ cation containing species. The latter has also been fully characterized, including single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
