A Bis(germaamidine) through Nitrene Insertion into GeSi Bonds
Nitrene insertion into the Ge<span class='icomoon'></span>Si bonds of masked bis(germylene)s is followed by nitrene addition to the Ge(II) centers to provide a bis(germaamidine) with GeN bonds bridged via a σ,π-conjugated amin...

New chapter ahead! After successfully defending my PhD @scheschkewitz.bsky.social, I moved to Toulouse for a postdoc @lbpblab.bsky.social
I am grateful for the exciting experience, all support along the way (@chemieverband.bsky.social) and thrilled to now be working with even heavier elements!

Towards functionalized polymers with Ge=Ge bonds?
The Ge-Si bonds of our NHC-bis(germylene) monomer react selectively with CO2 and RNCO under retention of the Ge(II) centers!
Subsequent reaction with a CAAC results in a paramagnetic germylene!
