Germanium cubed : Addition of [Ge{N(SiMe 3 ) 2 } 2 ] to a suspension of RSi(OH) 3 (R=(2,6‐ i Pr 2 C 6 H 3 )N(SiMe 3 )) in hexane/THF affords the germanium siloxane 1 with terminal GeH units in good yield. Compound 1 contains a Ge 4 O 12 Si 4 cubic polyhedron core in which the corners of the cube are alternately occupied by germanium and silicon atoms. Each of the twelve edges of the cube contains one bridging oxygen atom.
