Since its first reported synthesis from calcium carbide in 1862 by Friedrich Wöhler, 1
acetylene and its alkyl-or aryl derivatives have developed as key reagents in organic …

Chlorine derivatives of methane belong to the most important commodity chemicals among
the halogenated hydrocarbons [1]. In particular, dichloromethane and chloroform …

This chapter provides an overview of tetracoordinated organogermanium compounds,
containing Ge–E bonds (E is an atom of a Group 13‐17 element except Ge). The main focus …

A computational study at several DFT levels of theory was performed for the mono-and
diphosphaalkenyl germylene systems in order to understand the Lewis acid-base behaviour …

The addition of trans-(2-phenylcyclopropyl) carboxaldehyde to
dimesitylfluorenylidenegermane produced four diastereomers of a 1, 2-oxagermin, 7a–d, 2 …

The fluorine-substituted branched oligogermane (Ph3Ge) 3GeF was successfully
synthesized from (Ph3Ge) 3GeH and [Ph3C][BF4] after several unfruitful attempts using …

The mechanisms of the reactions of diphenylgermylene (GePh2) with CCl4 in hydrocarbon
solvents and in THF solution have been studied, employing 3, 4-dimethyl-1, 1 …

X‐ray structural analysis plays an essential role in organogermanium chemistry. Some
structural features of germanium‐containing compounds are summarized in this chapter …

Abstract Two new stable 3, 1-phosphagermapropenes have been synthesized and
completely characterized in solution, solid state and by computational methods. The newly …

Abstract [1, 5]‐H shift of (Z, Z) 1, 3‐pentadienes are known to take suprafacial mode. The
stereochemical fate of the reaction when halogens are involved in the [1, 5]‐shift in similar …
