Abstract
The compound [K(18-crown-6)]8[Ge9=Ge 9=Ge9= Ge9]·8en (1) featuring a [Ge 9=Ge9=Ge9=Ge9]8- cluster anion was synthesized from K4Ge9 for the first time. The X-ray single crystal analysis shows that, in many respects such as bond connection and packing style, compound 1 is quite different from the previously reported compounds [Rb(18-crown-6)]8[Ge9=Ge 9=Ge9=Ge9]·2en (2) and [Rb(18-crown-6)]8 [Ge9=Ge9=Ge 9=Ge9]·6en (3). Crystal packing of 1 gives strong indications that the highly charged nanorods self assembly in a hexagonal rod packing.
