Reactivity studies of group 15 Zintl ions towards homoleptic post-transition metal organometallics: a 'bottom-up' approach to bimetallic molecular clusters.

Reactions between ethylenediamine (en) solutions of the intermetallic Zintl phases K(3)E(7) (E = P, As) and a series of homoleptic post-transition metal organometallics such as Cu(5)(Mes)(5), M(C(6)H(5))(2) (M = Zn, Cd) and In(C(6)H(5))(3) have yielded a family of novel bimetallic cluster anions. Th...
