Deltahedral germanium clusters: insertion of transition-metal atoms and addition of organometallic fragments.

Reactions of nine-atom deltahedral clusters of germanium with Ni(COD)2 and/or Ni(PPh3)2(CO)2 in ethylenediamine yielded the Ni-centered heteroatomic 10-atom clusters [Ni@(Ge9Ni-CO)]2- and [Ni@(Ge9Ni-en)]3-, as well as the empty 10-atom heteroatomic cluster [Ge9Ni-CO]3-. A ligand exchange reaction be...
