Low-valent metallavinylidenes :M=C/\ are scarce owing to the low stability of such species. Compound 1, prepared from [CH(Ph2P=NSiMe3)2Li(thf)] and GeCl2⋅dioxane, represents first stable bis(germavinylidene). The dimetallacyclobutanes 2 (M=Pb, Sn) were also prepared—they believed form by dimerization intermediate metallavinylidenes.
