Abstract
In an effort to break the single-cage 16-vertex supraicosahedral barrier, we have explored the reaction of [Cp*CoCl2], 1 with [LiBH4·THF], followed by thermolysis with [BH3·SMe2] [Cp* = η5-C5Me5]. Although our objective to synthesize a high-nuclearity single-cage cluster was not achieved, we have isolated a 25-vertex macropolyhedral cluster [(Cp*Co)5Co2B18H17(CH3)S] (2). Cluster 2 is an exceptional fused hourglass-shaped macropolyhedral cluster composing two icosahedral cores ([Co3B9] and [Co4B8]) and three tetrahedral cores [Co2B2]. Although the fusion in cluster 2 is very complex, it follows Mingos fusion formalism, leading to an attractive hourglass-shaped cluster. Through subtle changes in reaction conditions, two new cobaltaborane clusters, nido-4,5,7-[(Cp*Co)3B7H11] (3) and nido-2,9-[(Cp*Co)2B8H12] (4), have been isolated. The observed core geometries of clusters 3 and 4 are similar to the parent deltahedra [B10H14] with (n + 2) SEP (SEP = skeletal electron pair, n = no. of vertices). All the synthesized cobaltaboranes have been characterized in solution by ESI-mass, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy and structurally solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

Abstract
The geometries, electronic structures, and bonding properties of the title endohedral Zintl clusters have been studied by using ab initio calculations. [Fe@Ge10 ]4- and [Co@Ge10 ]3- have D5h -symmetric pentagonal prismatic structure and [Fe@Sn10 ]4- adopts the C2v -symmetric structure as their ground-state structures, whereas all the other clusters possess D4d bicapped square antiprismatic structures, in consistent with the experimental values when available. Natural bonding orbital and electron localization function disclosed that the negative charges are localized on the central atoms rather than the cages while the TME ionic bonding interactions increase in the order of Ge < Sn < Pb. The energy decomposition analysis revealed that the total bonding energy ∆Eint between central TM and E10 cage is above 150 kcal/mol. The ionic bonding interaction termed as electrostatic interaction ∆Eelstat increases in the order of Ge < Sn < Pb and becomes higher than the covalent bonding interactions termed as total orbital interactions ∆Eorb . Among the total orbital interactions, the π back donations from the TM-d orbitals to the empty cage orbitals consisting of E-p orbitals, the magnitude of which is importantly affected by the cage symmetry, are dominant contributions.

Abstract
![]()
We report here the
structure of an endohedral plumbaspherene, [Cu4Pb22]4–, the gold analogue of
which was previously postulated to be a “missing link”
in the growth of larger clusters containing three and four icosahedral
subunits. The cluster contains two [Cu2Pb11]2– subunits linked through a Cu2Pb4 trigonal antiprism. Density functional theory reveals that the striking
ability of mixed Pb/coinage metal Zintl clusters to oligomerize and,
in the case of Au, to act as a site of nucleation for additional metal
atoms, is a direct consequence of their nd10(n + 1)s0 configuration, which generates
both a low-lying (n + 1)s-based LUMO and also a high-lying
Pb-centered HOMO. Cluster growth and nucleation is then driven by
this amphoteric character, allowing the clusters to form donor–acceptor
interactions between adjacent icosahedral units or to additional metal
atoms.

Abstract
We report here a new double-cage endohedral Ge cluster, [Co2@(Ge17Ni)]4-, fused through two [Co@(Ge9Ni)] moieties with a shared Ni-Ge edge. This ternary Co-Ge-Ni species not only represents the first double-cage example of an 18-vertex Zintl cluster, but also fills in the missing link of the edge fusion model in the double-cage systems.

Abstract
Endohedral Zintl clusters-multi-metallic anionic molecules in which a d-block or f-block metal atom is enclosed by p-block (semi)metal atoms-are very topical in contemporary inorganic chemistry. Not only do they provide insight into the embryonic states of intermetallic compounds and show promise in catalytic applications, they also shed light on the nature of chemical bonding between metal atoms. Over the past two decades, a plethora of endohedral Zintl clusters have been synthesized, revealing a fascinating diversity of molecular architectures. Many different perspectives on the bonding in them have emerged in the literature, sometimes complementary and sometimes conflicting, and there has been no concerted effort to classify the entire family based on a small number of unifying principles. A closer look, however, reveals distinct patterns in structure and bonding that reflect the extent to which valence electrons are shared between the endohedral atom and the cluster shell. We show that there is a much more uniform relationship between the total valence electron count and the structure and bonding patterns of these clusters than previously anticipated. All of the p-block (semi)metal shells can be placed on a ladder of total valence electron count that ranges between 4n+2 (closo deltahedra), 5n (closed, three-bonded polyhedra) and 6n (crown-like structures). Although some structural isomerism can occur for a given electron count, the presence of a central metal cation imposes a preference for rather regular and approximately spherical structures which maximise electrostatic interactions between the metal and the shell. In cases where the endohedral metal has relatively accessible valence electrons (from the d or f shells), it can also contribute its valence electrons to the total electron count of the cluster shell, raising the effective electron count and often altering the structural preferences. The electronic situation in any given cluster is considered from different perspectives, some more physical and some more chemical, in a way that highlights the important point that, in the end, they explain the same situation. This article provides a unifying perspective of bonding that captures the structural diversity across this diverse family of multimetallic clusters.

The syntheses and the characterization of two 17-atom endohedral Ge clusters, [Co2@Ge17]6- (1a) and [Ni2@Ge17]4- (2a), are reported. The anions 1a and 2a, which close the gap between the known 16- and 18-atom Ge clusters, are investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction and by quantum chemical calculations. The structures mark a new example on the pathway for cluster growth towards larger clusters with icosahedral symmetry. Furthermore, the [Co@Ge10]3- anion (3a) is obtained from liquid ammonia.

Abstract
In this article intermetalloid clusters of Cu-Zn, Cu-AI, Cu-Sn, and Cu-Pb are discussed. Intermetallic compounds based on these metal combinations are of the Hume-Rothery type with well-defined structures related to the valence electron count of the involved metals. Many Zintl-type and molecular clusters with these metals are known with remarkable structural parallels to the respective solid-state phases. On several examples, this article discusses intermetalloid clusters in terms of their metal core structures and relates them to structural principles in intermetallic solid-state phases. Also the syntheses of such clusters are addressed. Zintl-type and molecular clusters are most generally accessible from organometallic precursor complexes with redox processes between the different metals as an underlying synthesis concept.

Abstract
The anionic cluster [Fe2@Ge16]4- has been characterized and shown to be isostructural to the known D2h-symmetric α isomer of the cobalt analogue [Co2@Ge16]4-. Together with the known pair of compounds [Co@Ge10]3- and [Fe@Ge10]3-, the title compound completes a set of four closely related germanium clusters that allow us to explore how the metal-metal and metal-cage interactions evolve as a function of size and of the identity of the metal. The results of spin-unrestricted density functional theory (DFT) and multiconfigurational self-consistent field (MC-SCF) calculations present a consistent picture of the electronic structure where transfer of electron density from the metal to the cage is significant, particularly in the Fe clusters where the exchange stabilization of unpaired spin density is an important driving force.

Abstract
Since [Sn8 ]6- was discovered from the solid-state phase in 2000, its solution chemistry has been elusive due to the high charges and chemical activity. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of an inverse sandwich-type cluster dimer {[K2 ZnSn8 (ZnMes)]2 }4- (1 a), in which the highly charged [Sn8 ]6- is captured by mixed-valence ZnI /ZnII to form the dimer {closo-[Zn2 Sn8 ]}2 moieties bridged by a Zn-Zn bond. Such Zn-Sn cluster not only exhibits a novel example of mixed-valence ZnI /ZnII for stabilizing highly active anion species, but also indicates the [Sn8 ]6- cluster can act as a novel bridging ligand, like arene, with a η4 :η4 -fashion. Theoretical calculations indicate that a significant delocalization of electrons over Zn atoms plays a vital role in the stabilization of the [Sn8 ]6- species. The AdNDP and magnetic response analyses clearly showed the presence of local σ-aromaticity in three cluster fragments: two ZnSn4 caps and Sn8 square antiprism.

Abstract
ConspectusGroup 14 Zintl anions [Ex]q- (E = Si-Pb, x = 4, 5, 9, 10) are synthetically accessible, and their diverse chemical reactivity makes them valuable synthons in the construction of larger nanoclusters with remarkable structures, intriguing patterns of chemical bonding, and tunable physical and chemical properties. A plethora of novel cluster anions have now been isolated from the reactions of polyanionic [Ex]q- precursors with low-valent d-/f-block metal complexes, main-group organometallics, or organics in polar aprotic solvents. The range of products includes intermetalloid clusters with transition metal atom(s) embedded in main-group element cages, organometallic Zintl anions in which [Ex]q- acts as a ligand, intermetallic Zintl anions where [Ex]q- is bridged by ligand-free transition metal atom(s), organo-Zintl anions where [Ex]q- is functionalized with organic-group(s), and oligomers formed through oxidative coupling reactions. The synthesis and characterization of these unconventional complexes, where important contributions to stability come from ionic, covalent, and metal-metal bonds as well as weaker aurophilic and van der Waals interactions, extend the boundaries of coordination chemistry and solid-state chemistry. Substantial progress has been made in this field over the past two decades, but there are still many mysteries to unravel related to the cluster growth mechanism and the controllable synthesis of targeted clusters, along with the remarkable and diverse patterns of chemical bonding that present a substantial challenge to theory. In this Account, we hope to shed some light on the relationship between structure, electronic properties, and cluster growth by highlighting selected examples from our recent work on homoatomic deltahedral [Ex]q- anions, including (1) germanium-based Zintl clusters, such as the supertetrahedral intermetallic clusters [M6Ge16]4- (M = Zn, Cd) and the sandwich cluster {(Ge9)2[η6-Ge(PdPPh3)3]}4- with a heterometallic Ge@Pd3 interlayer; (2) tin-based intermetalloid clusters [Mx@Sny]q- and the application of [Co@Sn9]4- in bottom-up synthesis; and (3) lead clusters with precious metal cores, including the largest Zintl anion [Au12Pb44]8-. In addition to their intrinsic appeal from a structural and electronic perspective, these new cluster anions also show promise as precursors for the development of new materials with applications in heterogeneous catalysis, where we have recently reported the selective reduction of CO2.

Abstract
The access to molecules comprising direct Zn–Zn bonds has become very topical in recent years for various reasons. Low-valent organozinc compounds show remarkable reactivities, and larger Zn–Zn-bonded gas-phase species exhibit a very unusual coexistence of insulating and metallic properties. However, as Zn atoms do not show a high tendency to form clusters in condensed phases, synthetic approaches for generating purely inorganic metalloid Znx units under ambient conditions have been lacking so far. Here we show that the reaction of a highly reductive solid with the nominal composition K5Ga2Bi4 with ZnPh2 at room temperature yields the heterometallic cluster anion [K2Zn20Bi16]6–. A 24-atom polymetallide ring embeds a metalloid {Zn12} unit. Density functional theory calculations reveal multicenter bonding, an essentially zero-valent situation in the cluster center, and weak aromaticity. The heterometallic character, the notable electron-delocalization, and the uncommon nano-architecture points at a high potential for nano-heterocatalysis. Low-valent zinc clusters, though exceedingly rare, are appealing synthetic targets because there is evidence that they may show unconventional chemical and physical behavior. Here, the authors obtain a large heterometallic zinc-bismuth cluster anion and discover that it bears a metalloid {Zn12} core with four-center bonding and essentially zero-valent character.

Abstract
The pseudo-element concept, in its most general formulation, states that isoelectronic atoms form equal numbers of bonds. Hence, clusters such as Zintl ions usually retain their structure upon isoelectronic replacement of some or all atoms. Here, a deviation from this common observation is presented, namely the formation of (Sn5 Sb3 )3- (1), a rare example of an eight-vertex Zintl ion, and an unprecedented example of a Zintl ion synthesized by solution means that has an arachno-type structure according to the Wade-Mingos rules. Three structure-types of interest for (Sn5 Sb3 )3- were identified by DFT calculations: one that matched the X-ray diffraction data, and two that that were reminiscent of fragments of known clusters. A study on the isoelectronic series of clusters, (Snx Sb8-x )2-x (x=0-8), showed that the relative energies of these three isomers vary significantly with composition (independent of electron count) and that each is the global minimum at least once within the series.

Abstract
This perspective summarizes highlights and most recent advances in tin cluster chemistry, thereby addressing the whole diversity of (mostly) discrete units containing tin atoms. Although being a (semi-)metallic element, tin is in the position to occur both in formally positive or negative oxidation states in these molecules, which causes a broad range of fundamentally different properties of the corresponding compounds. Tin(iv) compounds are not as oxophilic and not as prone to hydrolysis as related Si or Ge compounds, hence allowing for easier handling and potential application. Nevertheless, their reactivity is high due to an overall reduction of bond energies, which makes tin clusters interesting candidates for functional compounds. Beside aspects that point towards bioactivity or even medical applications, materials composed of naked or ligand-protected tin clusters, with or without bridging ligands, show interesting optical, and ion/molecule-trapping properties.

Abstract
Endohedral clusters count as molecular models for intermetallic compounds-a class of compounds in which bonding principles are scarcely understood. Herein we report soluble cluster anions with the highest charges on a single cluster to date. The clusters reflect the close analogy between intermetalloid clusters and corresponding coordination polyhedra in intermetallic compounds. We now establish Raman spectroscopy as a reliable probe to assign for the first time the presence of discrete, endohedrally filled clusters in intermetallic phases. The ternary precursor alloys with nominal compositions "K5 Co1.2 Ge9 " and "K4 Ru3 Sn7 " exhibit characteristic bonding modes originating from metal atoms in the center of polyhedral clusters, thus revealing that filled clusters are present in these alloys. We report also on the structural characterization of [Co@Ge9 ]5- (1a) and [Ru@Sn9 ]6- (2a) obtained from solutions of the respective alloys.
