POLYGERMANES PRECURSEURS D'ESPECES DU GERMANIUM A COORDINNANCE NON USUELLE

Several thermal or photochemical α-elimination reactions of functional polygermanes lead to germylenes, R2Ge.Photolysis of polygermanes, cyclopolygermanes and polygermylmercury compounds and also hydrogen abstraction from various organohydropolygermanes using t-BuO., lead to the formation of polymetallated chains containing one or two germanium-centered radicals.These polygermyl radicals give germylenes, R2Ge, germanium centered radicals Ge., α-digermyl diradicals (or digermenes) Ge.-Ge. or Ge=Ge> and β- or γ-polygermyl diradicals via ahomolytic monoelectronic α-elimination process.In some cases the formation of α-digermyl diradicals or digermenes can also be seen as occuring through dimerization of germylenes but with lower yields.All these intermediates have been characterized by several trapping reactions with dimethyl disulfide, 2,3-dimethylbutadiene or biacetyl.

SYNTHESE DE COMPOSES A LIAISON MIVB-MERCURE. PRECURSEURS D'ESPECES MONOVALENTES (GERMYNES), ET BIVALENTES (GERMYLENES), DE RADICAUX CENTROMETALLES ET D'INTERMEDIAIRES

Polynuclear germyl-mercury compounds are obtained from the reaction of organohydrogermanes PhnGeH4-n or digermanes Ph2nGe2H4-n (n = 1, 2) with dialkylmercury R2Hg.Di- or tri-mercurated geminal polygermates thus synthesized generally present a low stability and undergo thermal- or photodecompositions leading to the corresponding monovalent (germynes), divalent (germylenes) or, trivalent (germanium centered radicals) species and also to intermediate biradicals which could be considered as limit forms of germanium doubly-bonded compounds .Such intermediates have been chemically and spectroscopically characterized.Extension of these reactions to the silicon analogs met with difficulties, and thus previously observed differences between silicon and germanium chemistry were confirmed.
