(Mesityl)2Ge(fluorenylidene)–Stabilization of a Ge–C Double Bond by Charge Transfer into an Aromatic System

Abstract: Not only steric shielding but also resonance with a delocalized π‐electron system can help to stabilize nonclassical multiple bonds. Thus, despite high steric demands, 15 C atoms and the Ge atom of the title compound 1 lie nearly in the same plane. The experimental finding is in agreement with the result of a MNDO calculation.

“…Furthermore, a completely trigonal planar geometry around the Sn1 and C1 atoms is observed (sum of bond angles of 360°in both cases) with a very small torsion angle (10°) between the planar fluorenylidene and the C22-Sn1-C37 plane. It is the smallest twisting ever reported for such heavier metallaalkenes, comparable to that of 5.9°observed for the germene Mes 2 Ge=CRЈ 2 (CRЈ 2 = 9-fluorenylidene group), [19] whereas a larger angle was observed for stannapentafulvene 2 (28.5°). [8] Depending on the groups on the tin atom, cryptodiborylcarbene-stannylene adducts display a twist angle (11.9°) comparable to that of 3 Ϫ with a trans bending structure and a bent angle of 13.2 (Sn) and 9.7°(C) [6] Ϫ or even greater twist angle ranging from 36 to 61°.…”

“…With respect to the alkylidene ligand, the sums of bond angles around Ge1 and C31 are 359.9 and 360.0°, respectively, and the “twist” angle at the GeC double bond (that is, between the C2Ge1C36 and Si32C31H31 planes) is close to zero (7.2°). The Ge1C31 bond length is very short, shorter even than that calculated for the parent germaethene H 2 GeCH 2 (1.773 Å),26 while the GeC bonds determined for charge transfer stabilized systems (those featuring significant contributions from R 2 Ge + CR′ 2 − resonance forms) are significantly longer (>1.80 Å) 23a,c. The presence of a localized GeC double bond in 6‐BAr f 4 is also supported by DFT calculations, with the HOMO shown to constitute a GeC π‐bonding orbital, and the LUMO the corresponding π*‐orbital (Figure 3 c,d).…”
