A versatile salt-metathesis route to heteroatomic clusters derived from phosphorus and arsenic Zintl anions.

Salt metathesis reactions between ethylenediamine (en) solutions of the K(3)E(7) (E = P, As) Zintl phases and post-transition metal halides (InCl(3), TlCl, SnI(2) and PbI(2)) have yielded a family of novel heteroatomic cluster anions, [In(E(7))(2)](3-), [TlE(7)](2-) and [E'E(15)](3-) (E' =...
