17. Faller and Kultyshev pointed out (Ref. 4a) the difficulty in assessing the extent to which, or even if, a Heck mechanism is operating during their chemistry. Under their conditions reaction of (E)-β-phenylethenylgermatrane with p-iodotoluene afforded the corresponding E-stilbene, whereas a 3.5/1 mixture of (Z/E)-β-phenylethenylgermatrane gave a 2.6/1 Z/E-mixture.

21. Anhydrous MeCN and dioxane failed to afford 2.

24. Biaryl formation tracks with electrophile activation. For example, PhBr gave 1-2% biaryl, while biaryl production with 1-bromo-4-nitrobenzene exceeded 20%.
25. 2 ratio inhibited the reaction.
