Abstract
The solid mixture "K2 GeSb" was shown to comprise single-crystalline K12 Ge3.5 Sb6 (1), a double salt of K5 [GeSb3 ] with carbonate-like [GeSb3 ]5- anions, and the metallic Zintl phase K2 Ge1.5 . Extraction of 1 with ethane-1,2-diamine in the presence of crypt-222 afforded [K(crypt-222)]+ salts of several novel binary Zintl anions: (Ge2 Sb2 )2- (in 2), (Ge4 Sb12 )4- (in 3), and in the presence of [AuMePPh3 ] also (Ge4 Sb14 )4- (in 4). The anion in 2 represents a predicted, yet heretofore missing pseudo-tetrahedral anion. 4 comprises a cluster analogous to (Ge4 Bi14 )4- and (Ga2 Bi16 )4- , and thus one of the most Sb-rich binary p-block anions. The unprecedented cluster topology in 3 can be viewed as a defect-version of the one in 4 upon following a "dead end" of cluster growth. The findings indicate that Ge and Sb atoms are at the border of a well-matching and a mismatch elemental combination. We discuss the syntheses, the geometric structures, and the electronic structures of the new compounds.

Abstract
Binary pseudo-tetrahedral Zintl anions composed of (semi)metal atoms of the p-block elements have proven to be excellent starting materials for the synthesis of a variety of heterometallic and intermetalloid transition metal-main group metal cluster anions. However, only ten of the theoretically possible 48 anions have been experimentally accessed to date as isolable salts. This brings up the question whether the other species are generally not achievable, or whether synthetic chemists just have not succeeded in their preparation so far. To contribute to a possible answer to this question, global minimum structures were calculated for all anions of the type (TrTt3 )5- , (TrPn3 )2- , and (Tt2 Pn2 )2- , comprising elements of periods 3 to 6 (Tr: triel, Al⋅⋅⋅Tl; Tt: tetrel, Si⋅⋅⋅Pb; Pn: pnictogen, P⋅⋅⋅Bi). By analyzing the computational results, a concept was developed to predict which of the yet missing anions should be synthesizable and why. Additionally, the results of an electrophilic attack by protons or trimethylsilyl groups or a nucleophilic attack by transition metal complex fragments are described. The latter yields butterfly-like structures that can be viewed as a new form of adaptable tridentate chelating ligands.

Abstract
Heating a metastable solution of GeI Br to room temperature led to the first structurally characterized metalloid subhalide cluster Ge14 Br8 (PEt3 )4 (1). Furthermore 1 can be seen as the first isolated binary halide cluster on the way from GeI Br to elemental germanium, giving insight into the complex reaction mechanism of its disproportionation reaction. Quantum chemical calculations further indicate that a classical bonding situation is realized within 1 and that the last step of the formation of 1 might include the trapping of GeBr2 units.

Abstract
The new [SnBi3 ]5- polyanion is obtained by the reaction of K3 Bi2 with K4 Sn9 or K12 Sn17 in liquid ammonia. The anion is iso(valence)electronic with and structurally analogous to the carbonate ion. Despite the high negative charge of the anion, the Sn-Bi bond lengths range between single and double bonds. Quantum-chemical calculations at a DFT-PBE0/def2-TZVPP/COSMO level of theory reveal that the partial double bond character between the heavy main-group atoms Bi and Sn originates from a delocalized π-electronic system. The structure of the anion is determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses of the compounds K5 [SnBi3 ] 9 NH3 (1) and K9 [K(18-crown-6)][SnBi3 ]2 ⋅15 NH3 (2). The [SnBi3 ]5- unit is the first example of a carbonate-like anion obtained from solution, and it consists exclusively of metal atoms and completes the series of metal analogues of CO and CO2 .
