The neutral triple-decker ruthenocenes and anionic ruthenocene bearing a stannole dianion were successfully synthesized by the reactions of dilithiostannoles with [Cp*RuCl]4. This is the first example of a transition-metal complex bearing a group 14 metallole dianion with μ-η(5):η(5) coordination mode. These complexes were fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In the complexes, each of the ruthenium atoms is coordinated by the stannole ring in an η(5)-fashion. The aromaticity of the stannole dianion moieties is retained judging from no C-C bond alternation in the stannole rings. CH/π interaction was found in the packing structure of the SiMe3 derivative, which leads to a well-ordered column-like structure. The oxidation wave of the triple-decker complex was observed at -0.43 V (vs ferrocene), which reveals that the triple-decker type heavy ruthenocene is oxidized more easily than the ferrocene. Comparison of the oxidation potential between the triple-decker complex and decamethylruthenocene (Cp*2Ru, Cp* = η(5)-C5Me5) reveals that a stannole ligand functions as an electron-donating ligand much stronger than the conventional electron-rich Cp* ligand.

The aromatic metallole dianions are important metallaaromatic compounds because of their various reactivities and extensive synthetic applications. Herein we report the reactions of dilithionickelole with MgCl , EtAlCl , Cp*ScCl , Cp*LuCl and Pt(COD)Cl (COD=1,5-cyclooctadiene) affording a series of Ni/M heterobimetallic complexes of the general formula (η -C R M)Ni(COD), in which the metalloles act as diene ligands, as suggested by single-crystal X-ray, NMR and theoretical analyses. In these reactions, two electrons of the nickelole dianion transferred to Ni, representing different reactivity compared with main-group metallole dianions.

Metalloles are derivatives of cyclopentadiene in which the methylene unit is replaced by a heteroatom, such as S, Se, Te, N, P, As, Sb, Bi, Si, Ge, Sn, B, Al, Ga, and so on. Many metallole derivatives have been widely used as photovoltaic cells, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), chemical sensors, electrochromic devices, microelectronic actuators, and organic field effect transistors (OFETs). In the meantime, many of them showed promising biological actives.

This Forum review describes the most recent achievements in the novel prospective field of highly reactive main-group organometallics, namely, geminal dianionic derivatives of the heavy group 14 elements (Si, Ge, Sn). A brief historical introduction to the topic is followed by discussion of the current state of affairs in the field of stable derivatives and prospects for future efforts, highlighting our own synthetic approach and recent results. The most important experimental contributions, including synthesis of 1,1-dilithiosilane, -germane, and -stannane derivatives; dilithio(halo)silanes (lithiosilylenoids); metallole 1,1-dianions; and heavy analogues of the cyclobutadiene dianion derivatives, are presented, along with a discussion of the synthetic applications of the above-mentioned organometallic compounds.
