Molecular structures of (ArNEt2Ge)2 (1; left) and (ArNiPr2Ge)4 (2; right) as determined by X‐ray crystallography.[42] Thermal ellipsoids set at the 40 % probability level. Hydrogen atoms omitted and Et/iPr substituents shown in wireframe format for clarity. Selected interatomic distances [Å] and angles [°]: (for 1) Ge1–Ge2 2.6066(5), Ge1⋅⋅⋅N1 2.358(2), Ge1⋅⋅⋅N2 2.695(2), Ge2⋅⋅⋅N3 2.337(2), Ge2⋅⋅⋅N4 2.794(2); (for 2) Ge1–Ge2 2.5052(3), Ge2–Ge2′ 2.3480(4), Ge1–N2 2.2084(16), Ge1⋅⋅⋅N3 4.632(2), Ge2⋅⋅⋅N5 4.744(2), Ge2⋅⋅⋅N6 4.525(2); Ge2′‐Ge2‐Ge1 126.763(14).
