Abstract

Abstract : The novel binary P4 analogue (Ge2 P2 ) 2− proved to be a suitable precursor for heteroatomic cluster synthesis. Upon reaction with CdPh2, an unprecedented cluster anion is formed, [Cd3 (Ge3 P)3 ] − . Abstract : The novel binary P4 analogue (Ge2 P2 ) 2− proved to be a suitable precursor for heteroatomic cluster synthesis. Over time in solution, it rearranges to form (Ge7 P2 ) 2−, as shown by NMR studies and X-ray diffraction. Reactions of (Ge2 P2 ) 2− with CdPh2 afford [K(crypt-222)]3 [Cd3 (Ge3 P)3 ], containing an unprecedented ternary cluster anion with a triangular Cd3 moiety.
