Direct coordination of a germanium(ii) dicationic center to transition metals.

Published in: Chemical communications (Cambridge, England) (2018)

The germanium(ii) center of dicationic compound 1 donates an electron pair to transition metal Ag(i) and Au(i) cations, leading to complexes 2 and 3 respectively. Complex 3 is stabilized by [Ge:]2+→Au(i) σ-donation and π-back donation from filled d-orbitals of Au(i) to the two sets of p-orbitals available on Ge(ii) centers.
