“…This bond-forming reaction could occur with the addition of a substrate molecule in whole or in part across the M−Ge moiety, with oxidation of the metal and/or oxidation of the germanium center, or with direct insertion into the M−Ge moiety with M−Ge bond cleavage. Numerous stable σ-bonded metal germylene complexes have been synthesized in the last few decades; − , however, comparatively fewer studies have emphasized the reactivity of the metal−germylene bond. ,,,,,− ,, …”
