In this work, the synthesis and characterization of new germylene zinc complexes [PhC(NtBu)(2)Ge{N(SiMe3)(2)}-&amp;gt; ZnX2](2)(X= Br (2) and I (3)) supported by (benz)-amidinato germylene ligands are reported. The solid-state structures of2and3have been validated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, which revealed the dimeric nature of the complexes, with distorted tetrahedral geometries around the Ge and Zn center. DFT calculations reveal that the Ge-Zn bonds in2and3are dative in nature. The reaction of2with elemental sulfur resulted in the first structurally characterized germathione stabilized ZnBr(2)complexes PhC(NtBu)(2)Ge(=S){N(SiMe3)(2)}-&amp;gt; ZnBr2(5). Therefore, the Ge=S in5is in-between Ge-S single and Ge=S double bond length, owing to the coordination of a sulfur lone pair of electrons to ZnBr2.&lt;/p&gt;

Deprotonation of L1 with KN(SiMe3)(2) and subsequent reaction with MgI2 led to a homoleptic dinuclear magnesium complex (1) with a Mg2O2 four-membered ring. Deprotonation with nBuLi and subsequent reaction with MgI2 afforded a unusual dinuclear magnesium complex (2) with a Mg2O2 ring. Extension of the ligand for calcium resulted in a trinuclear calcium complex (3) with six four-membered Ca2O2 rings. We could not isolate any chelating complex when L2 was used as a ligand, and only oxygen bound magnesium (4) and calcium (5) adducts were isolated. DFT studies were performed to understand this dissimilar behavior. More diverse results were obtained when lithiated L1 and L2 were treated with germanium dichloride. We were able to stabilize a monomeric germylene monochloride (7) with L1. However, with L2, an unusual ligand scrambling, and a C-C coupling take place, leading to the formation of a secondary carbocation with GeCl3- as a counter-anion (8). Besides, a germanium dichloride adduct (9) bound to the oxygen center of the ligand was obtained as the minor product.&lt;/p&gt;

	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.&lt;/p&gt;

	We have demonstrated a unique reductive coupling of 4-iodophenyl isocyanide, facilitated by a perimidine-based N-heterocyclic germylene (NHGe), which yields a bis-spirogerma compound featuring simultaneous C-C and C-N bond formation. This reaction, which leads to the oxidation of germanium from +2 to +4, represents a significant departure from previously documented isocyanide-germylene interactions. The product exhibits extensive conjugation across its bicyclic C4Ge2N2 framework, conferring distinct photophysical properties, including prominent orange luminescence in both solution and solid states. The photophysical properties are supported by the TD-DFT calculations confirming an n -&amp;gt;pi* transition. The potential application of this compound in optoelectronic devices, particularly as a hole transport layer in PbS quantum dot solar cells, is also explored, with promising preliminary results.&lt;/p&gt;
