Abstract
Although the first metalloid tin cluster was discovered by Wiberg in 1999, the number of isolated and characterized compounds is still low. However, numerous theoretical calculations indicate that a large variety of compounds are yet to be discovered, thereby suggesting that larger clusters might form a cluster-of-clusters arrangement rather than compact structures. This trend seems to be supported by the largest metalloid tin clusters exhibiting up to 20 tin atoms. In this review, recent results and future possibilities of this fascinating class of metalloid tin cluster compounds are discussed.

Abstract
We present a comprehensive investigation of the dielectric behavior and geometric structures of cold neutral SiN clusters of intermediate size with N = 12-30 atoms. For this, cryogenic electric beam deflection experiments were carried out for the first time for Si clusters at nozzle temperatures below 30 K. In combination with quantum chemical calculations based on density functional theory and classical trajectory simulations of the rotational dynamics in the electric field, the geometric structures of the clusters are discriminated. Clusters with N < 15 favor a single-capped square antiprism as a nucleus for cluster growth, forming compact geometries in the molecular beam. Starting with 15 atoms, a prolate-like growth is observed. The prolate structures are based on stable building blocks which reappear for numerous sizes throughout the cluster growth. Finally, the transition from prolate to quasi-spherical shapes is shown to take place around Si29/Si30 as predicted theoretically by the literature. The influence of the exchange-correlation functional on the predicted structure and dielectric properties is discussed in detail for some clusters. Relaxation of the electric-dipole moment and therefore quenching of the observed electric response due to vibrational excitation and collisions with the background gas are also considered, which explains deviations between experiment and theory.

Abstract
In this work, an unbiased global search with a homemade genetic algorithm was performed to investigate the structural evolution and electronic properties of Snx - (x=21-35) clusters with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. All the ground-state structures for all these Snx - (x=21-35) clusters have been confirmed by the comparison of the experimental and simulated photoelectron spectra (PESs). It has been revealed that all Snx - (x=21-35) clusters are tricapped trigonal prism (TTP)-based structures consisting of two (for sizes x=21-28) or three (for x=29-35) TTP units, with the remaining atoms adsorbed on the surface or inserted between TTP units. The gradually decreasing HOMO-LUMO gaps indicate that these clusters are undergoing semiconductor-to-metal transformation. The average binding energies show that the structural stabilities of Snx - clusters are not as good as that of silicon and germanium clusters. It found that sizes x=23, 25, 29, 33 show high relative stability.

Abstract
Neutral SnN clusters with N = 6-20, 25, 30, 40 are investigated in a joint experimental and quantum chemical study with the aim to reveal their optical absorption in conjunction with their structural evolution. Electric beam deflection and photodissociation spectroscopy are applied as molecular beam techniques at nozzle temperatures of 16 K, 32 K and 300 K. The dielectric response is probed following the approach in S. Schäfer et al., J. Phys. Chem A, 2008, 112, 12312-12319. It is improved on those findings and the cluster size range is extended in order to cover the prolate growth regime. The impact of the electric dipole moment, rotational temperature and vibrational excitation on the deflection profiles is discussed thoroughly. Photodissociation spectra of tin clusters are recorded for the first time, show similarities to spectra of silicon clusters and are demonstrated to be significantly complicated by the presence of multiphoton absorption in the low-energy region and large excess energies upon dissociation which is modelled by the RRKM theory. In both experiments two isomers for the clusters with N = 8, 11, 12, 19 need to be considered to explain the experimental results. Triple-capped trigonal prisms and double-capped square antiprisms are confirmed to be the driving building units for almost the entire size range. Three dominating fragmentation channels are observed, i.e. the loss of a tin atom for N < 12, a Sn7 fragment for N < 19 and a Sn10 fragment for N ≥ 19 with Sn15 subunits constituting recurring geometric motifs for N > 20. The prolate-to-quasispherical structural transition is found to occur at 30 < N ≤ 40 and is analyzed with respect to the observed optical behavior taking quantum chemical calculations and the Mie-Gans theory into account. Limitations of the experimental approach to study the geometric and electronic structure of the clusters at elevated temperatures due to vibrational excitation is also thoroughly discussed.

Abstract
The reaction of a metastable SnCl solution with KR (R = Si(SiMe3)2(SitBuMe2) = HyptBuMe2 or Si(SiMe3)2(SiEt3) = HypEt3) gives the metalloid tin cluster [Sn10R4]2- in partly good yields. The tin clusters are in the solid state as well in solution coordinated by a potassium cation, leading first of all to a more static compound and novel coordination polymers in the solid state. Additionally, the coordination of the potassium cation strongly increases the stability of the cluster in solution. This higher stability is thereby an important prerequisite for future investigation of this open shell metalloid tin cluster.

Abstract
The reaction of a Sn(I) Cl solution with LiSi(SiMe3 )3 gave the anionic metalloid tin cluster {Sn10 [Si(SiMe3 )3 ]4 }(2-) (7) in good yield. The arrangement of the ten tin atoms in the cluster core can be described as a distorted centaur polyhedron. Quantum chemical calculations suggest that there are 26 bonding electrons in the cluster core, which may be described as an arachno cluster in agreement with Wade's rules. NMR and mass spectrometric investigations showed that 7 is highly reactive, which may be due to the open ligand shell. The easily available tin atoms in 7 thereby open the door to further subsequent reactions, in which 7 may act as a building block to larger cluster aggregates.

Abstract
The disproportionation reaction of the subvalent metastable halide SnBr proved to be a powerful synthetic method for the synthesis of metalloid cluster compounds of tin. Hence, the neutral metalloid cluster compound Sn(10)[Si(SiMe(3))(3)](6) (3) was synthesized from the reaction of SnBr with LiSi(SiMe(3))(3). In the course of the reaction anionic clusters might also be present, and we now present the first anionic cluster compound {Sn(8)E[Si(SiMe(3))(3)](3)}(-) (E = Si, Sn), where one position in the cluster core is occupied by a silicon or a tin atom, giving further insight into structural variations of E(9) cages in metalloid group 14 cluster compounds.

Abstract
We employ a combination of ion mobility measurements and an unbiased systematic structure search with density functional theory methods to study structure and energetics of gas phase tin cluster cations, Sn(n)(+), in the range of n = 3-15. For Sn(13)(+) we also carry out trapped ion electron diffraction measurements to ascertain the results obtained by the other procedures. The structures for the smaller systems are most easily described by idealized point group symmetries, although they are all Jahn-Teller distorted: D(3h) (trigonal bipyramid), D(4h) (octahedron), D(5h) (pentagonal bipyramid) for n = 5, 6, and 7. For the larger systems we find capped D(5h) for Sn(8)(+) and Sn(9)(+), D(3h) (tricapped trigonal prism) and D(4d) (bicapped squared antiprism) plus adatoms for n = 10, 11, 14, and 15. A centered icosahedron with a peripheral atom removed is the dominant motif in Sn(12)(+). For Sn(13)(+) the calculations predict a family of virtually isoenergetic isomers, an icosahedron and slightly distorted icosahedra, which are about 0.25 eV below two C(1) structures. The experiments indicate the presence of two structures, one from the I(h) family and a prolate C(1) isomer based on fused deltahedral moieties.
