“…Again, phase cycling is used to eliminate all magnetization that has not been produced by the selective excitation sequence. Under the same experimental conditions as chosen for the experiments in Figure 2 but using the pulse sequence PH-1D-ROESY, very similar spectra are obtained Hexaaryltetragermabuta-1,3-diene: A Molecule with Conjugated Ge À Ge Double Bonds** Helmut Schäfer, Wolfgang Saak, and Manfred Weidenbruch* With the recent isolation of the first diplumbenes, [1,2] molecules containing a short lead ± lead double bond, homonuclear double bonds of the type R 2 EER 2 (E C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) are now known between all elements of Group 14. [3] The strong decrease in bond dissociation energies of these double bonds from silicon to lead is reflected in the distinctly different behavior in the crystalline state and in solution.…”
