each C 3 -C 10 cycloalkyl is substituted with 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 groups selected from halogen, C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, and Si(R) 3 groups, and one —CH 2 - in each C 1 -C 8 alkyl is optionally replaced with —Si(R) 2 —;

Y is selected from hydrogen and —Si(R) 3 ;

each Z is independently selected from —CH 2 — and —Si(R) 2 —; and

each R is independently selected from phenyl and C 1 -C 6 alkyl groups; and

wherein the compound of Formula (1) contains at least one Si atom.

2. The compound of claim 1 , wherein X is selected from Si(R) 3 ,

3. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the compound is chosen from:

and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and deuterated derivatives thereof.

4. The compound of claim 1 , wherein at least one hydrogen is replaced by deuterium.

5. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the compound is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.

6. A compound of Formula (2):

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or deuterated derivative thereof, wherein:

X is selected from Ge(R) 3 , —(O) n —(C 1 -C 8 alkyl), —(O) n —(C 3 -C 10 cycloalkyl), wherein:

n is 0 or 1,

each C 1 -C 8 alkyl is substituted with 0, 1, 2, or 3 groups selected from halogen, hydroxy, oxo, C 3 -C 10 cycloalkyl, C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, and Ge(R) 3 groups, each C 3 -C 10 cycloalkyl is substituted with 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 groups selected from halogen, C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, and Ge(R) 3 groups, and one —CH 2 — in each C 1 -C 8 alkyl is optionally replaced with —Ge(R) 2 —;

Y is selected from hydrogen and —Ge(R) 3 ;

each Z is independently selected from —CH 2 — and —Ge(R) 2 —; and

each R is independently selected from phenyl and C 1 -C 6 alkyl groups; and

wherein the compound of Formula (2) contains at least one Ge atom.

7. The compound of claim 6 , wherein X is selected from Ge(R) 3 ,

8. The compound of claim 6 , wherein the compound is chosen from:

and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and deuterated derivatives thereof.

9. The compound of claim 6 , wherein at least one hydrogen is replaced by deuterium.

10. The compound of claim 6 , wherein the compound is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.

11. A compound of Formula (3):

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or deuterated derivative thereof, wherein:

the carbon atom at position 2 of Formula (3) is replaced by a silicon atom;

at least one of the methyl groups at positions 6 and 7 of Formula (3) is replaced by a group chosen from —Si(R) 3 groups, —Si(R) 2 (OR) groups, and —Si(R)(OR) 2 groups;

at least one of the methylene groups at positions 3, 5, and 8 of Formula (3) is replaced by a group chosen from >Si(R) 2 groups and >Si(R)(OR) groups; and/or

the methine group at position 4 of Formula (3) is replaced by a group chosen from ≡Si(R) groups and ≡Si(OR) groups; and

wherein each R is independently chosen from hydrogen, phenyl, and C 1 -C 6 alkyl groups.

12. The compound of claim 11 , wherein at least one hydrogen is replaced by deuterium.

13. The compound of claim 11 , wherein the compound is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.

14. A compound of Formula (4):

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or deuterated derivative thereof, wherein:

the carbon atom at position 2 of Formula (4) is replaced by a germanium atom;
