The addition of nitromethane to tetramesityldisilene and tetramesityldigermene leads to the formation of the novel 1,3,2,4,5‐dioxazadisil‐ and digermolidine ring systems, respectively. The 1,3,2,4,5‐dioxazadisilolidine isomerizes to the 1,4,2,3,5‐dioxazadisilolidine ring system, whereas the 1,3,2,4,5‐dioxazadigermolidine undergoes ring opening to the isomeric oxime. The preferential formation of the 1,3,2,4,5‐dioxazadisilolidine, and its rearrangement to a 1,4,2,3,5‐dioxazadisilolidine, provides support for the suggested reaction pathway between nitromethane and the Si(100) 2×1 reconstructed surface.
