To support the metal com-plex and group 14 center, we employed the use of bidentate phosphineligands to support the metal center. We explored the synthesis andreactivity of bimetallic germanium complexes, and group 10 metalbased silylne complexes and their reactivity with carbon dioxide andother small molecules. Show less
