- Abstract
The title anion was synthesized by heating dimethylformamide (DMF) solution of the known Ni-centered and Ni(CO)-capped tin clusters [Ni@Sn9Ni(CO)]3−. The new anion represents the first example of face-fused nine-atom molecular clusters. The two clusters are identical elongated tricapped trigonal prisms of nido-[Sn8Ni(CO)]6− with nickel at one of the capping positions. They are fused along a triangular face adjacent to a trigonal prismatic base and made of two Sn and one Ni atoms. The new anion is structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the compound (K[222-crypt])4[Sn14Ni(CO)]⋅DMF. Its presence in solution is corroborated by electrospray mass spectrometry.
