Abstract

The bulky germanium (IV) trisamide complex BrGe [N (SiMe3) 2] 3 has been prepared and structurally characterized. Reaction of this material with nBuLi resulted in [(Me3Si) 2N] 3Ge (CH2CH2CH2CH3), which has also been structurally characterized, but no reaction with lithium metal was observed in the attempted preparation of LiGe [N (SiMe3) 2] 3. However, analytically pure LiGe [N (SiMe3) 2] 3was prepared by the reaction of 3 equivalents of LiN ...
