Description

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>A stable silagermene, 1,1‐bis(tri‐tert‐butylsilyl)‐2,2‐bis(2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)silagermene, was synthesized by the reaction of dilithiosilane (<jats:sup>t</jats:sup>Bu<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>Si)<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>SiLi<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> with dichlorodimesitylgermane. Its structure was determined by spectroscopic data and X‐ray crystallography, which showed the SiGe length to be 2.2769(8) Å. The silagermene underwent isomerization at 100ˆC to form the corresponding symmetrically substituted isomer (E)‐1,2‐bis(tri‐tert‐butylsilyl)‐1,2‐bis(2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)silagermene. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
