	In this work, the insertion of CS2 into the Ge-Si bond of PhC(NtBu)2Ge-Si(SiMe3)3 (1) has been investigated, resulting in the formation of PhC(NtBu)2Ge-C( 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 11111111 00000000 11111111 00000000 00000000 00000000 S)-S-Si(SiMe3)3 (2). Interestingly, the addition of NHC to 2 allows the release of NHCCS2 with concomitant regeneration of 1. Addition of another equivalent of 1 or an analogous hypersilyl silylene, [PhC(NtBu)2Si-Si(SiMe3)3], to 2 led to the formation of compounds with a GeS (3) or a SiS (4) bond. In this work, the insertion of CS2 into the Ge-Si bond of PhC(NtBu)2Ge-Si(SiMe3)3 (1) has been investigated, resulting in the formation of PhC(NtBu)2Ge-C(S)-S-Si(SiMe3)3 (2).</p>

	Two isocyanates are reacted with the germylene, PhC(NtBu)(2)Ge-Si(SiMe3)(3) (1). Phenyl isocyanate undergoes catalytic cyclotrimerization with 1 leading to 1,3,5-triphenyl isocyanurate (2), while allyl isocyanate undergoes both cyclotrimerization and the C=C bond insertion between the Ge-Si bond. The constitution of 3 is determined by single-crystal X-ray studies. The contrasting reactivity pattern is explained by comprehensive density functional theory studies.</p>
