Crystal Structure of the Protonated Germanide Cluster [HGe9]3−

A single crystal X-ray diffraction study of the new compound [Rb([2.2.2]crypt)]2[Rb([18]crown−6)][HGe9]·4NH3 revealed the presence of the first protonated nine-atom germanide cluster [HGe9]3−. It forms from Rb4Ge9 in liquid ammonia, so that [Ge9]4− can be con...
