Ligand-free deltahedral clusters of silicon in solution: synthesis, structure, and electrochemistry of Si9(2-).
Deltahedral nine-atom clusters of silicon, Si(9)(2-), were synthesized by mild oxidation of a liquid ammonia solution of K(12)Si(17) with Ph(3)GeCl in the presence of 18-crown-6 (1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane) or 2,2,2-crypt (4,7,13,16,21,24-hexaoxa-1,10-diazabicyclo[8.8.8]hexacosane).
