This Perspective discusses the synthesis and reactivity of low valent Group 14 hydrides of germanium and tin. The use of hindered terphenyl ligands has facilitated the isolation of a number of unusual new main group hydride structural types (each predicted by computational work), and has culminated in the use of these species as precursors to new cluster archetypes.
