Preparation and Characterization of Tris(trimethylsilyl)germylzinc Chloride and Bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)germyl]zinc

摘要

The molecular structure of (Me_3Si)_3GeZnCl (1) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The germylzinic chloride 1 has a dimeric structure consisting of two #mu#-Cl atoms. The compound 1 reacted with (Me_3Si)_3GeLi diethyl ether to give [(Me_3Si)_3Ge]_2Zn (2), quantitatively. The structure of bis(germyl)zinc 2 has been also elucidated by X-ray diffraction.
