(Triarylmethyl)germanium trihalides 1 �4 were synthesized as part of a systematic study of the properties of hypercoordinate group 14 compounds derived from donor-substituted triarylmethyl ligands. X-ray structures of the complexes will be presented, as well as details regarding the ring-flipping process by which two ortho-methoxy groups of an aryl ring are exchanged.
