Two sulfur‐bridged, almost planar Ge 2 S 2 , four‐membered rings are found in the novel sesquichalcogenide 1 , which is formed from the reaction of t BuGeCl 3 with (NH 4 ) 2 S 5 . Due to thermal strain, 1 , rearranges to the known ( t BuGe) 4 S 6 isomer with an adamantane framework. If this second compound is prepared directly from t BuGeCl 3 and H 2 S/pyridine, bisgermanium thiolates are detected as intermediates.
