Abstract

Finally, a dimeric nonastannide Zintl anion: The cluster anion [Ag(Sn9-Sn9)]5-(1; see picture; blue Sn, red Ag) is obtained from Zintl anion [Sn9]4-by an oxidative coupling reaction. An X-ray structure determination reveals that the Sn - Sn exo bond is also supported by a silver cation. Moreover, 1 is the first cluster consisting only of silver and tin atoms.
