Abstract
A new transition metal germylene complex, (Ph3P)(2)NiGe[2,4,6-(CF3)(3)C6H2] (2) (2), has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The metrical parameters of complex 2 are compared and contrasted with the previously syn thesized complexes (Ph3P)(2)NiGe[N(SiMe3)(2)](2) (3) and (Et3P)(2)PtGe[N(Si Me3)(2)](2) (1). Nonlocal BP86 density functional calculations support the presence of Ni-Ge d-p pi bonding in complexes 2 and 3.
