η 6 ‐Bonding characteristics are exhibited by stable germabenzene complexes that are stabilized with the extremely bulky 2,4,6‐tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl ligand. The ring system coordinates to transition‐metal centers (M=Cr, Mo; see picture) to give the first evidence of the aromatic character in germabenzene complexes, from the standpoint of their chemical reactivity.
