The trapping of a transient base-stabilized germylenylsilylene by elemental tellurium and arylazide is described. The reaction of the potassium 2-imino-5,6-methylenedioxylphenylgermylidenide [L iminophenyl GeK] (L iminophenyl = 2-imino-5,6-methylenedioxylphenyl) with the amidinato chlorosilylene [L amidinate SiCl] {L amidinate = PhC(NtBu) 2 } in THF at-78°C afforded the transient base-stabilized germylenylsilylene [L amidinate SiGeL iminophenyl ] (3). It was unstable in solution, but can be trapped by reacting with elemental tellurium and 2,6-diiso-[a] Dr.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
