Abstract

Abstract A neutral germylene tungsten complex with W–H and Ge–H bonds was prepared by the reaction of an acetonitrile(methyl)tungsten complex with trihydrogermane at room temperature. X-ray crystal structure analysis and IR study revealed that there is a weak but significant interligand interaction between the germylene and hydrido ligands. The germylene complex reacted with nitriles and ketones to give hydrogermylation products in high yields.
