Heteroatomic molecular clusters derived from Group 15 Zintl ion cages: synthesis and isolation of [M2(HP7)2](2-) (M=Ag, Au), two novel cluster anions exhibiting metallophilic interactions.

Ethylenediamine (en) solutions of K(3)P(7) and 2,2,2-crypt (4,7,13,16,21,24-hexaoxa-1,10-diazabicyclo[8.8.8]hexacosane) were reacted with the homoleptic group 11 complexes [M(nbe)(3)][SbF(6)] (M = Ag, Au; nbe = norbornene) yielding two novel cluster anions, [M(2)(HP(7))(2)](2-), both of which were i...
