Abstract

Germyl- and stannyl-substituted phospholes have been prepared and isolated. The increased reactivity of the tetrel carbon bond requires increased effort in purification by initial transformation to the chalcogen derivatives and subsequent reduction to the phosphole after subsequent to chromatographic purification for the germanium derivative. The photophysical properties of the germyl phosphole are comparable to that of its silyl analogue, whereas the stannyl phospholes turned out to be nonluminescent. All isolated compounds have been characterized by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. Furthermore, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed on selected compounds.
