In this contribution a convenient synthetic method to obtain tetraacylgermanes Ge [C (O) R] 4
(R= mesityl (1 a), phenyl (1 b)), a previously unknown class of highly efficient Ge‐based …

In this review, the latest achievements in the field of multiply bonded organogermanium
derivatives, mostly reported within the last two decades, are presented. The isolable Ge …

Acylgermanes have been subject of great interest recently because of their low toxicity and
the applicability as sources for germanium-centered radicals for visible-light induced free …

The formation of a stable triacylgermenolate 2 as a decisive intermediate was achieved by
using three pathways. The first two methods involve the reaction of KO t Bu or alternatively …

The electronic transmission through σ-conjugated molecules can be fully suppressed by
destructive quantum interference, which makes them potential candidates for single …

We have synthesized the first isolable geminal bisenolates L2K2Ge [(CO) R] 2 (R= 2, 4, 6‐
trimethylphenyl (2 a, b), L= THF for (2 a) or [18]‐crown‐6 for (2 b)), a new synthon for the …

Recently heavier Group 14 enolates showed their importance and applicability in a broad
range of chemical transformations. They were found to be key intermediates during the …

Heavier tetrylenes attract attention for their potential in synthesis, catalysis and small
molecule activation. The coordination by N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and cyclic …

Abstract Isolable stannenolates LKSn [(CO) R] 3 (R= 2, 4, 6‐trimethylphenyl (1 a, b), L= DME
for (1 a) or 18‐crown‐6 for (1 b)), a new building block for the synthesis of effective Sn …

The synthetic process to obtain triacylgermenolates with alternated counterions by single-
electron-transfer reactions or by a direct approach is described. The formation of these …
