The first isolable cyclogermylidenide salt 2 has been synthesized and isolated by facile dehalogenation of the N-heterocyclic chlorogermylene 1 with elemental potassium in ether and isolated in the form of yellow crystals in 33% yield. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that 2 crystallizes as a dimeric half-sandwich complex of aromatic C3NGe rings interconnected via intermolecular Ge(II)-->K dative bonds. Its yield can be improved up to 42% by gentle reduction of 1 (or its related GeCl3 complex 8) using potassium graphite. Additionally, the remarkable K2Ge4 cluster compound 9 has been isolated as a side product which consists of an unusual dianionic Ge4 core with parallelogram configuration and pronounced aromaticity as indicated by highly negative NICS values.
首个可分离的环锗亚胺盐2已通过在乙醚中用单质钾对N-杂环氯锗烯1进行简便的脱卤反应合成并分离出来,以黄色晶体形式分离得到,产率为33%。单晶X射线衍射分析表明,2以芳香族C3NGe环的二聚半夹心配合物形式结晶,通过分子间Ge(II)→K配位键相互连接。使用石墨钾对1(或其相关的GeCl3配合物8)进行温和还原,其产率可提高至42%。此外,还分离得到了引人注目的K2Ge4簇合物9作为副产物,它由一个具有平行四边形构型且具有明显芳香性的不寻常双阴离子Ge4核心组成,这由高度负的NICS值表明。
