We present a novel approach for constructing chains of Group 14 metal atoms linked by unsupported metal-metal bonds that exploits hemilabile ligands to generate unsaturated metal sites. The formation/nature of catenated species (oligo-dimetallynes) can be controlled by the use of (acidic/basic) "protecting groups" and through variation of the ligand scaffold. Reduction of Ar<sup>NiPr2</sup> GeCl (Ar<sup>NiPr2</sup> =2,6-(<sup>i</sup> Pr<sub>2</sub> NCH<sub>2</sub> )<sub>2</sub> C<sub>6</sub> H<s ...[more]
