Abstract: We report here the synthesis and structural characterization of the first binary iron arsenide cluster anion, [Fe 3 (As 3 ) 3 (As 4 )] 3− , present in both [K([2.2.2]crypt)] 3 [Fe 3 (As 3 ) 3 (As 4 )] ( 1 ) and [K(18 ‐ crown ‐ 6)] 3 [Fe 3 (As 3 ) 3 (As 4 )] ⋅ en ( 2 ). The cluster contains an Fe 3 triangle with three short Fe−Fe bond lengths (2.494(1) Å, 2.459(1) Å and 2.668(2) Å for 1 , 2.471(1) Å, 2.473(1) Å and 2.660(1) Å for 2 ), bridged by a 2‐butene‐like As 4 unit. An analysis of the electronic structure using DFT reveals a triplet ground state with direct Fe−Fe bonds stabilizing the Fe 3 core.

Abstract: A new Zintl cluster, [(Ni@Sn 9 )In(Ni@Sn 9 )] 5− , has been isolated in two distinct isomeric forms, one where both Ni@Sn 9 units are coordinated to the bridging indium atom in an η 3 - mode, the other where one is η 3 - and the other η 4 -.

Abstract: Two ternary intermetalloid clusters were constructed through binary intermetalloid clusters with a low valent group 12 metal salt. These clusters represent the first ex le of the structural transformation for intermetalloid clusters.

Abstract: Gold nanoparticles have been used for centuries, both for decoration and in medical applications. More recently, many of the major advances in cluster chemistry have involved well-defined clusters containing tens or hundreds of atoms, either with or without a ligand shell. In this paper we report the synthesis of two gold/lead clusters, [Au 8 Pb 33 ] 6− and [Au 12 Pb 44 ] 8− , both of which contain nido [Au@Pb 11 ] 3− icosahedra surrounding a core of Au atoms. Analogues of these large clusters are not found in the corresponding Ag chemistry: instead, the Ag-centered nido icosahedron, [Ag@Pb 11 ] 3− , is the only isolated product. The structural chemistry, along with the mass spectrometry which shows the existence of [Au 2 Pb 11 ] 2− but not [Ag 2 Pb 11 ] 2− , leads us to propose that the former species is the key intermediate in the growth of the larger clusters. Density functional theory indicates that secondary π-type interactions between the [Au@Pb 11 ] 3− ligands and the gold core play a significant part in stabilizing the larger clusters.

Abstract: In this paper, we report the synthesis and structural characterisation of two hetero-metallic clusters, [(CO)3CrSn5Cr(CO)3]4− and [(CO)3MoSn5Mo(CO)3]4−, both of which have a pentagonal bipyramidal core. The structures are similar to that of previously reported [(CO)3MoPb5Mo(CO)3]4− and our analysis of the bonding suggests that they are best formulated as containing Sn54− rings bridging two zerovalent M(CO)3 fragments. The electronic structure is compared to two isolobal M2E5 clusters, [CpCrP5CrCp]− and Tl77−, both of which show clear evidence for trans-annular bonds between the apical atoms that is not immediately obvious in the title clusters. Our analysis shows that the balance between E-E and M-M bonding is a delicate one, and shifts in the relative energies of the orbitals on the E5 and M2 fragments generate a continuum of bonding situations linked by the degree of localisation of the cluster LUMO.
