The selective addition reaction of unsaturated C–C bonds has always been a classic and constant research topic. Different from well-developed hydroboration, hydrosilylation, and hydrostannylation reaction, hydrogermylation reaction remains challenging which hasn't been much reported. Herein, we developed a new metal-porous ligand polymers Pd₁@POL-PPh_nCy_m (n + m = 3) with monoatomic dispersion characteristics for highly selective and efficient hydrogermylation of unsaturated C–C bonds, including alkynes, alkenes, and allenes. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical calculations further proved the introduction of cyclohexyl could gently adjust the charge on monoatomic Pd center which effectively facilitate the recognition and transformation of various substrates. With the electrically fine-tuned single atom palladium catalysts, we realized the α-germanium addition for the first time, obtaining corresponding allyl germanium and alkyl germanium compounds.
