Additions and Corrections 1995, Volume 14 Michael P. Egorov,* Oleg M. Nefedov, Tien-Sung Lin, and Peter P. Gaspar*: Germylene and Stannylene Anion Radicals: Generation and Electronic Structure. Page 1539. In our recent paper we incorrectly stated that we were reporting the first successful generation of germylene and stannylene anion radicals and their direct detection by ESR.1 In fact, Sita and Kinoshita reported in 1992 the ESR spectrum of the bis(2,6diethylphenyl)stannylene radical anion.2 The small values of a(117,119Sn) ) 1161 and 152 G2 suggest that both Sita’s and our R2Sn•- anions are π-radicals. We regret our error and thank Professor Sita for calling it to our attention. (1) Egorov, M. P.; Nefedov, O. M.; Lin, T.-S.; Gaspar, P. P. Organometallics 1995, 14, 1539. (2) Sita, L.
