Stabilization of the Heavy Methylene Analogues, GeH2 and SnH2, within the Coordination Sphere of a Transition Metal
The heavy group 14 methylene analogues, EH2, (E = Ge and Sn) have been stabilized via efficient methods, thus enabling the chemistry of these novel inorganic hydrides to be explored in depth.
