Tools

(A) HAbst tool

• R₃C-C≡C·
• R₃C-C≡C-H ("discharged")

(B) HDon tool

• R₃Ge-H
• R₃Ge· ("discharged" it becomes the GeRad handle)

(C) HTrans tool

• R₃C-C≡(C-H)-GeR₃

(D) DimerP tool

• R₃Ge-C≡C-GeR₃
• R₃Ge· ·GeR₃ (the R's are connected in a close stiff loop the background)

(E) AdamRad handle

• R₃C·

(F) GeRad handle

• R₃Ge·

(G) Methylene tool

• R₃C-CH₂

(H) Germylmethylene tool

• R₃Ge-CH₂

(I) Germylene tool

• R₃C-GeH₂

Reactions Sequences (RSx)

RS5 hydrogen recharge step

Moving a hydrogen:

• from a saturated HAbst tool
• to a depleted HDon tool (a GeRad handle)
• by means of another "catalyzing" GeRad handle

RS6 recharge DimerP

Using HTrans tool and GeRad tool to
recharge DimperP tool leaving
Two GeRad and one Adamrad handles.
