Abstract

Zinc in the middle: The reaction of [Mo-(GaCp*)₂(CO) ₄] and Zn(CH₃)₂ results in the cluster [{Mo(CO)₄}₄(Zn)₆(μ-ZnCp*) ₄] (see picture), the first metalloid cluster with naked zinc atoms as cluster elements. This complex indeed represents a molecular cut-out of a Mo/Zn alloy, which is not only substantiated by similar interatomic distances but by direct comparison of coordination environments of the metal atoms. (Figure Presented).
