The strong nucleophilic character of germa‐ closo ‐dodecaborate towards late transition metal centres is described. The synthesis and characterisation of the first germa‐ closo ‐dodecaborate complexes are presented, and the solid state structures of the germaborate transition metal complexes were determined by X‐ray crystal structure analyses. The strong trans influence of the new germaborate ligand was determined by IR spectroscopy and NMR coupling constants.
