description | <p>This thesis describes the reactivity of Zintl ions of groups 14 [E<sub>9</sub>]<sup>4–</sup> (E = Ge and Sn)and 15 [E'<sub>7</sub>]<sup>3–</sup> (E' = P and As) towards a number or transition, post-transition and main group reagents. The synthesis and characterisation of the resulting novel cluster anions is described herein.</p> <p>Coordination compounds of group 14 Zintl ions were synthesised when K<sub>4</sub>Ge<sub>9</sub> was reacted with Zn[N(SiMe<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>2</sub> to give the simple coordination compound [Ge<sub>9</sub>ZnN(SiMe<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>3–</sup>.
