Several examples of stable low-coordinated species of heavier group 14 elements (Si, Ge, Sb, Pb) such as divalent species and multiple-bond compounds have been reported. With the goal in mind to create unprecedented low-coordinated species of heavier group 14 elements that exhibit considerably increased redox stability, ferrocenyl (Fc)-substituted low-coordinated species of heavier group 14 elements were designed. In this short account article, recent progress on the synthesis of Fc-based low-coordinated species of heavier group 14 elements is summarized.
