Organozinc derivatives of deltahedral zintl ions: Synthesis and characterization of closo-[E9Zn(C6H5)](3-) (E = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb)

Reactions of group 14 deltahedral Zintl ions E 94- (E = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) with diphenylzinc yielded the organically functionalized heteroatomic closo-clusters [E 9Zn-Ph] 3- (E = Si (1), Ge (2), Sn (3), Pb (4)). All four clusters exhibit the same bicapped square antiprismatic geometry in which one of t...
