Strong bite : The two respective Si II and Ge II centers in ferrocene‐containing bis(silylene) and bis(germylene) ligands 1 can serve as excellent σ donors, as shown in the formation of Co complexes 2 (see scheme, Cp=η 5 ‐cyclopentadienyl). Unexpectedly, only the bis(silylene)–Co complex 2 is a precatalyst for the [2+2+2] cycloaddition of phenylacetylene and MeCN, possibly because of a stronger coordination of the Ge II donor centers to Co.
