“…In this work, Cp*Fe(CO)LGeClMe 2 (L = CO, PPh 3 ), AgBPh 4 , and DMAP were used as the chlorogermyliron complex, the chloride-abstracting agent, and the donor, respectively, to give a donor-stabilized germyleneiron complex (eq 1).
It is noteworthy that chloride abstraction from chlorosilyl complexes using AgBF 4 , AgPF 6 , and AgSbF 6 resulted in fluorination of the silyl groups. , …”
