Thiacalix [4] arenes have emerged as a family of macrocyclic ligands to protect metal
nanoparticles, but it remains a great challenge to solve the mystery of their structures at the …

The endohedral cluster anion [Pd3Sn8Bi6] 4–crystallizes as its K ([2.2. 2] crypt)+ salt 1 upon
reaction of [K ([2.2. 2] crypt)] 2 [Sn2Bi2]· en and Pd (dppe) 2 in 1, 2-diaminoethane …

Diphosphadiazanediyl ([P (μ-NTer)] 2, 1) is known to readily react with small molecules
bearing multiple bonds to give [2.1. 1] bicyclic species. On the contrary, in the reaction of …

We report the successful isolation and structural elucidation of two bimetallic doped [Co2@
Ge16] 4− clusters (α and β form), which were synthesized through the reaction of [{(ArN) …

Abstract The oxidation of [Ge9 (Hyp) 3]−(Hyp= Si (SiMe3) 3) with an FeII salt leads to Ge18
(Hyp) 6 (1), the largest Group 14 metalloid cluster that has been structurally characterized to …

Very recently it was shown that the metalloid cluster compound {Ge9 [Si (SiMe3) 3] 3}− 1 can
be used for subsequent reactions as the shielding of the cluster core is rather incomplete. So …

The chemistry of oligosilanes has made numerous advances since the beginning of the new
millennium. While during the time from the 1960s to the 1990s research has concentrated on …

Pyramidane is an elusive but highly desirable target for synthetic chemists that has attracted
a great deal of attention because of its nonclassical structure and unusual bonding features …

The binary cluster [Co@ Sn9] 4–(1) was extracted directly from ethylenediamine (en)
solutions of an intermetallic precursor with nominal composition “K5Co3Sn9”, and its …

Terphenyltin and terphenylgermanium trihydrides were deprotonated in reaction with strong
bases, such as LiMe, LDA, or KBn. In the solid state, the Li salts of the germate anion 4 and …
