| Abstract: | Treatment of 2,5‐di(3,5‐tert‐butylphenyl)‐1‐lithioferrocene with GeCl2?dioxane afforded the corresponding chlorogermylenoid that exhibited an ambident reactivity in different solvents; it displayed a behavior characteristic for a dichlorogermylene anion in THF, while it exhibited the typical reactivity of a chlorogermylene in toluene. X‐Ray diffraction analysis of a single crystal of this chlorogermylenoid, obtained from recrystallization in THF, revealed a separated‐ion‐pair structure in the solid state. |
