In this paper, we attempted the analogous reaction with (Dipp)NCMeCHCOMeGeCl using LiN(SiMe3)(2) which gave rise to a metathesis product, (Dipp)NCMeCHCOMeGeN(SiMe3)(2) (2). However, the reactions of 2 with [M2Cl2(-Cl)(2)((5)-Cp*)(2)] (M = Rh and Ir) resulted in cyclometallated Rh and Ir complexes through the activation of the C-H bond from the germylene ligand. The complexes were characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis, which authenticated the presence of Ge-Rh and Ge-Ir bonds. DFT studies have been performed to understand the mechanism.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">44</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article </style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.099</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
