Chemistry of 2,3-dihydro-2-metallaphenalenes. Part 2. Formation of [CHMMe 2 C(MMe 3 )C 10 H 6 ] x via base decomposition of [1,8-(Me 3 MCH 2 ) 2 C 10 H 6 ] y (M = Ge, x= 2–, y= 0; M = P, x= 0, y= 2+); crystal structures of the novel bis-ylide CHPMe 2 C(PMe 3 )C 10 H 6 and of a distorted peri-ylide, 1-Me-8-(Me 3 PCH)C 10 H 6
