The reactions of the Rind‐based 1,2‐dihalodigermenes, (Eind)BrGe=GeBr(Eind) (1a), and (EMind)ClGe=GeCl(EMind) (1b), with two types of N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) (Im‐iPr2Me2 and Im‐Me4) result in the formation of the halogermylene mono‐NHC adducts, (Im‐iPr2Me2)(Eind)GeBr (2a') and (Im‐iPr2Me2)(EMind)GeCl (2b'), and the germyliumylidene cation bis‐NHC adducts, [(Im‐Me4)2(Eind)Ge]+[Br−] (3a) and , with two equivalents of tBuLi in Et2O at low temperatures resulted in the formation of blue solutions derived from the diarylsilylenes, (Rind)2Si: (3). Upon warming the solutions above −20 °C, the blue color gradually faded, accompanying the decomposition of 3 and yielding cyclic hydrosilanes (4) via intramolecular C–H bond insertion at the Si(II) center. The molecular structures of the bulky Eind-based 3b and 4b were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Thus, at −20 °C, blue crystals were formed (Crystal-A), which were identified as mixed crystals of 3b and 4b. Additionally, colorless crystals of 4b as a singular component were isolated (Crystal-B), whose structure was also determined by an X-ray diffraction analysis. Although the isolation of 3 was difficult due to their thermally labile nature, their structural characteristics and electronic properties were discussed based on the experimental findings complemented by computational results. We also examined the hydrolysis of 3b to afford the silanol, (Eind)2SiH(OH) (5b).

The bulky Rind-based thiols, (Rind)SH (1) [Rind = 1,1,7,7-tetra-R1-3,3,5,5-tetra-R2-s-hydrindacen-4-yl: EMind (a: R1 = Et, R2 = Me), Eind (b: R1 = R2 = Et), and MPhind (c: R1 = Me, R2 = Ph)], reacted with nBuLi in THF to afford a series of lithium arylthiolates, [(Rind)SLi]n(THF)m (2), whose structures were confirmed by an X-ray diffraction analysis. In the solid state, while the less bulky EMind-based lithium thiolate exhibited a linear dimer, [(EMind)SLi]2(THF)4 (2a), or trimer, [(EMind)SLi]3(THF)5 (2a′), the monomeric structures of (Eind)SLi(THF)3 (2b) and (MPhind)SLi(THF)2 (2c) were found for the bulky Eind- and the bulkier MPhind-based systems. The salt metathesis reaction between 2a and FeCl2(THF)1.5 in THF produced the anionic three-coordinate planar Fe(II) thiolate complex, [Li(THF)3][{(EMind)S}3Fe] (3a).
