“Triple bonds” is now the motto : Exceptions to the classic double bond rule were sought over many years, and these efforts were so successful that compounds with doubly bonded silicon or germanium are no longer regarded as unusual. Attention has now switched to compounds with triple bonds between the elements of higher periods. After the preparation of complexes with WP and MoP triple bonds in 1995, in 1996 a compound with a MoGe triple bond was synthesized; this germanetriyl complex 1 also contains the first example of a heavier homologue of a terminal alkylidyne ligand.
