Abstract
The sterically congested tetrakis(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)digermene ( 4) does not react with trimethylsilyl azide. However, in the presence of water hydrazoic acid is formed which adds to the GeGe double bond of 4 in a 1,2-fashion to furnish the corresponding azidodigermane in high yield. The N1N2a and N2aN3a bond lengths of 114.6 and 113.9 pm, respectively, are nearly equal and differ markedly from those in organic azides.
