Abstract

A trianion consisting of one germyl anion and two anions delocalized on conjugated carbon ring skeletons was synthesized by trimerization of the germanium analogue of the anthryl anion, which exhibits high germylene character. In addition, the generation of the putative intermediate of this reaction, the radical anion of 9-germaanthracene, was confirmed by the formation of the corresponding dimeric dianion. The isolated trianion and dianion were characterized by X-ray crystallographic analysis together with NMR spectroscopy and theoretical calculations.
