Density functional theory calculations wereemployed to explore the ring–opening reaction mechanisms of mono germanium analogues of cyclopropylidenoids viaDoering–Moore–Skattebøl method. The theoreticalfindings revealedthat the stepwise fashion with the intermediacy of a free germacyclopropylidene is operative for the structure with germaniumatom on the carbenic position (1). Moreover, the cyclopropylidene analogue (4) of the title structures proceedsviaconcerted manner for the corresponding ring-opening reaction. The calculated overall energy barrier to trigger the stepwise ring-opening reaction for 1is strongly higher than the concerted fashion for 4. Additionally, the effectof halogens(X = F, Cl, Br) on the reaction mechanism were also investigated. The energy barriers for chlorine substituted precursors are found to be lower than the fluorine and bromine substituted forms.
