Similarly, a germylene-indium complex is also presently unknown. We describe herein the reactions of [PhC(NtBu)(2)SiN-(SiMe3)(2)] (1) and [PhC(NtBu)(2)GeN(SiMe3)(2)] (4) with InCl3 and InBr3 that have resulted in the first silylene-indium complexes, [PhC(NtBu)(2)Si{N(SiMe3)(2)}-&gt; InCl3] (2) and [PhC(NtBu)(2)Si{N(SiMe3)(2)}-&gt; InBr3] (3), as well as the first germylene-indium complexes, [PhC(NtBu)(2)Ge{N(SiMe3)(2)}-&gt; InCl3] (5) and [PhC(NtBu)(2)Ge{N(SiMe3)(2)}-&gt; InBr3] (6). The solid-state structures of all species have been validated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Note that 5 and 6 are the first structurally characterized organometallic compounds that feature a Ge-In single bond (apart from the compounds in Zintl phases). Theoretical calculations reveal that the Si(II)-&gt; In bonds in 2 and 3 and the Ge(II)-&gt; In bonds in 5 and 6 are dative bonds.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.862</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
