The synthesis of a bicyclic germylene from the reaction of a germole dianion with hafnocene dichloride is reported. This germylene is stabilized by a homoconjugative interaction of the dicoordinated germanium atom with a remote C=C double bond. First reactivity studies revealed its nucleophilic character and resulted in the synthesis of bimetallic hafnium/iron and hafnium/tungsten complexes with a germylene group linker.
