Synthesis and isolation of [Fe@Ge(10)](3-): a pentagonal prismatic Zintl ion cage encapsulating an interstitial iron atom.
Reaction of an ethylenediamine (en) solution of the Zintl phase precursor K(4)Ge(9) with FeAr(2) (Ar = 2,6-Mes(2)C(6)H(3)) in the presence of 2,2,2-crypt (4,7,13,16,21,24-hexaoxa-1,10-diazabicyclo[8.8.8]hexacosane) yielded the endohedral Zintl ion [Fe@Ge(10)](3-) (1) which was crystallographically c...
