Abstract/Summary

From ortho-phenylenemagnesium (1), 9-phenyl-9-germa-10-silatriptycene (5) was prepared via a simple one pot procedure. The previously prepared 9-methyl-10-phenyl-9,10-digermatriptycene (4) and 5 are the first germanium-containing 9,10-dimetallatriptycenes to be structurally characterised. The availability of these structural data allows a comparative discussion of 9,10-dimetallatriptycenes of Group 14.
