Abstract

Ge[N(SiMe3)2]2 reacts with isocyanates but its reactivity with the related heavier congeners has not been explored. Its reaction with tertiary isothiocyanates results in the abstraction of the sulfur atom to yield a germanium(IV) dimer [((SiMe3)2N)2GeS]2 in high yield. The reaction with tert-butylisoselenocyanate produced the related dimer [((SiMe3)2N)2GeSe]2 within 5 minutes as shown using 77Se NMR spectroscopy.
