Abstract
A pentacoordinate germanium compound consisting of a spirocyclic dilactone-like structure was synthesized. Both radical and oxidation synthetic routes afforded the diphenylgermanium dicarboxylic acid compound. Then, mono-dearylation by acid treatment successfully delivered a hypercoordinate germane product. X-Ray crystallographic analysis revealed that the product adopted trigonal bipyramidal geometry in which a γ-lactone ring and a dative-bonding carboxylic acid moiety were incorporated.
