A new series of germanium (1-5) and tin (6-10) complexes were successfully synthesized by employing N-alkoxy-functionalized carboxamides as stabilizing ligands, and these complexes could potentially serve as precursors for thinfilm applications. All of the complexes were characterized by FTIR and NMR spectroscopy as well as elemental and thermogravimetric (TG) analyses. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of 5 and 10 revealed that they crystalize in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c as monomers. The metal centers in [a]
