Popis: Six-membered cyclic germoxanes (R2GeO)3 were selectively prepared via the thermal reaction of (alkyl)2GeH2 in dimethylformamide (DMF). Linear metallagermoxanes with an E–O–Ge–O–E backbone (E = Si, Ge, Sn) were prepared by the reaction of Ph2GeH2 with R3EH in DMF. Their cyclic and linear germoxane formations were achieved using an iron catalyst, (η(5)-C5H5)Fe(CO)2Me. An iron carbene complex was proposed to be an intermediate in the catalytic reaction.
