Abstract

Photolysis of CpFe (CO) 2 SiMe 3 (Cp= η-C 5 H 5) in the presence of a new alkylgermane t BuGeH 3 afforded a mono (μ-germylene) diiron complex Cp 2 Fe 2 (CO) 3 (μ-GeH t Bu)(4) and a bis (μ-germylene) diiron complex Cp 2 Fe 2 (CO) 2 (μ-GeH t Bu) 2 (5). The structure of 4 was determined by X-ray crystallography.
