The catalyzed reaction of an excess of styrene with n-Bu₃GeH using several ruthenium and rhodium complexes gave the corresponding vinylgermanes (α-tri-n-butylgermylstyrene, (Z)-β-tri-n-butylgermylstyrene, and (E)-β-tri-n-butylgermylstyrene), which are dehydrogenative germylation products. The most effective catalyst was Ru₃(CO)₁₂, whose use resulted in selective formation of the vinylgermanes in high yields.

烯烃的过渡金属催化脱氢Germylation与三ñ -butylgermane

使用几种钌和铑络合物催化过量的苯乙烯与n -Bu ₃ GeH催化反应，得到相应的乙烯基锗烷（α-三-正丁基锗苯乙烯基苯乙烯，（Z）-β-三-正丁基丁基锗烷基苯乙烯和（E）- β-三ñ -butylgermylstyrene），这是脱氢germylation产品。最有效的催化剂是Ru ₃（CO）₁₂，其使用导致高产率选择性形成乙烯基锗烷。
