A compound containing a Ge-Sn bond was initially reported in 1927 by Kraus and Foster, Ph3GeSnMe3 (11); much later Gilman and Gerow reported Ph3GeSnPh3, and Creemers and Noltes reported several oligomeric germylstannanes. IJ However, there has been limited study on such compounds. Chambers and Glockling determined heats of formation and bond dissociation energies from appearance potential measurements3 and also ...
