Telluradigermiranes. A novel three-membered ring system containing tellurium
Abstract
Reactions of hexamesitylcyclotrigermane (1a) and tetrakis(2,6-diethylphenyl)digermene (3b) with tellurium at 80 °C produce telluradigermiranes (2a) and (2b) respectively; the structure of (2b) has been confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study, showing the existence of a Ge2Te ring.
