Reactions of EtP adducts of bissilylated germylenes and stannylenes with gold, silver, and copper cyanides led to cyanogermyl or -stannyl complexes of the respective metals. In the course of the reaction the phosphine moved to the metal, while the cyanide migrated to the low-coordinate group 14 element. The respective gold complexes were found to be monomeric, whereas the silver and copper complexes exhibited a tendency to dimerize in the solid state. Attempts to abstract the phosphine ligand with B(CF) led only to the formation of adducts with the borane coordinating to the cyanide nitrogen atom.

Hexahydride OsH6(PiPr3)2 (1) releases H2 to form the isomeric tetrahydrides 2a and 2b of general formula OsH4(PiPr3)2. Tetrylenes E{N(SiMe3)2}2 (E = Ge, Sn) are able to selectively trap these isomers distinguishing between them. Tetrylene Ge{N(SiMe3)2}2 catches 2b to generate OsH4{Ge[N(SiMe3)2]2}(PiPr3)2 (3), which has a piano stool geometry, while Sn{N(SiMe3)2}2 captures 2a to give OsH4{Sn[N(SiMe3)2]2}(PiPr3)2 (4) with the donor atoms defining a pentagonal bipyramid around the osmium center.

The synthesis of an anionic [Ge,N]-bidentate ligand based on the combination of an amidopyridinato group with an anionic germolide ring is reported. The potential of the germolide part of this ligand to switch between η-( Ge) and η-( CGe) coordination modes makes this ligand an interesting synthetic target. Salt metathesis reactions of the potassium salt of this ligand with GeCl dioxane and SnCl allow the synthesis of bis-germolyl-substituted germylenes and stannylenes with the tetrel atoms in a distorted square pyramidal coordination environment.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on the reaction of dimethyl acetylene dicarboxylate (DMAD) with hypersilyl tetrylenes at room temperature, focusing on the compounds PhC(NBu)ESi(SiMe) where E = Ge (germanium) and Sn (tin).
- The germylene (with germanium) resulted in the formation of alkenes, while the stannylene (with tin) also produced alkenes but exhibited different behavior.
- Computational studies using DFT (Density Functional Theory) provided insights into the differing stereoselectivity observed in the reactions.

This review article focuses on amidinatotetrylenes that potentially can (or have already shown to) behave as bi- or tridentate ligands because they contain at least one amidinatotetrylene moiety (silylene, germylene or stannylene) and one (or more) additional coordinable fragment(s). Currently, they are being widely used as ligands in coordination chemistry, small molecule activation and catalysis. This review classifies those that have been isolated as transition metal-free compounds into five families that differ in the position(s) of the donor group(s) (D) on the amidinatotetrylene moiety, namely: ED{RNC(R)NR}, EX{DNC(R)NR}, EX{RNC(D)NR}, EX{DNC(R)ND} and E{RNC(R)ND} (E=Si, Ge or Sn).
