Abstract

Inorganic pentaprismane: The unusual structure of the anion [Co@Ge ₁₀]^3-, which was obtained by the reaction of K ₄Ge₉ with [Co(C₈H₁₂)(C ₈H₁₃)] in ethylenediamine, raises questions about chemical bonding in the anion. The Zintl ion cluster has virtual D_5h symmetry and is a unique example of a ligand-free cluster that is not a deltahedron. The delocalized chemical bonding is represented in the picture by one of the bonding orbitals of the anion. (Figure Presented).
