Two equivalents of 1-benzyl-3-bromoethylbenzimidazolium bromide couple with Na2Se to give the first selenoether bridged bis-benzimidazolium salt (LH2)Br2. The nitrate (LH2)(NO3)2 and tetrafluoroborate (LH2)(BF4)2 salts were also synthesized from (LH2)Br2. The reaction of Hg(OAc)2 with (LH2)Br2 gave the first pseudo pincer carbene mercury complex, [Hg(L-?2C)][HgBr4] (C1). Different complexes of Pd(II) with selenoether bridged carbene were obtained using (LH2)Br2 and (LH2)(NO3)2.

The influence of a sterically demanding iminophosphonamide ligand, [(2,6-iPr C H N)P(Ph )(NtBu)]H (LH), on the synthesis and stability of a heteroleptic germylene monochloride, [(2,6-iPr C H N)P(Ph )(NtBu)]GeCl (1), and its reaction chemistry has been discussed. Complex 1 behaves as a Lewis base to form an adduct with Fe(CO) , namely [(2,6-iPr C H N)P(Ph )(NtBu)]Ge(Cl)Fe(CO) (2).
