Reactivity studies of group 15 Zintl ions towards homoleptic post-transition metal organometallics: a 'bottom-up' approach to bimetallic molecular clusters. by Knapp, C, Zhou, B, Denning, MS, Rees, N, Goicoechea, J

“…Reactions between ethylenediamine (en) solutions of the intermetallic Zintl phases K(3)E(7) (E = P, As) and a series of homoleptic post-transition metal organometallics such as Cu(5)(Mes)(5), M(C(6)H(5))(2) (M = Zn, Cd) and In(C(6)H(5))(3) have yielded a family of novel bimetallic cluster anions. …”

[Co(η5-P5){η2-P2H(mes)}]2-: a phospha-organometallic complex obtained by the transition-metal-mediated activation of the heptaphosphide trianion. by Knapp, C, Westcott, B, Raybould, M, McGrady, J, Goicoechea, J

“…A carbon copy: The chemical activation of the heptaphosphide trianion with [Co(PEt(2)Ph)(2)(mes)(2)] (see picture; 1) yields the novel phospha-organometallic complex [Co(η(5)-P(5)){η(2)-P(2)H(mes)}](2-) (2). …”

“…The chemically-reduced organometallic species [Fe(η(3)-C(8)H(8))(CO)(3)](-) was also isolated as a side-product from this reaction as [K(2,2,2-crypt)][Fe(η(3)-C(8)H(8))(CO)(3)]. …”

Reductive cleavage of Zn-C bonds by group 14 Zintl anions: synthesis and characterisation of [E9ZnR]3- (E = Ge, Sn, Pb; R = Mes, iPr). by Zhou, B, Denning, MS, Jones, C, Goicoechea, J

“…These reactions proceed via reductive zinc-carbon bond activation of the organometallic reagents by the free solvated electrons present in ethylenediamine solutions of intermetallic Zintl phases. …”

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

“…All four clusters exhibit the same bicapped square antiprismatic geometry in which one of the capping positions is occupied by the ZnPh organometallic fragment. Three filled molecular orbitals of the cluster overlap with three empty orbitals at the ZnPh fragment, and the cluster acts as a six-electron ligand analogous to cyclopentadienyl and benzene ligands. …”

Iron(II) complexes of ditopic carbanionic carbenes. by Musgrave, R, Turbervill, R, Irwin, M, Herchel, R, Goicoechea, J

“…Reaction of 1 with KC8 in THF afforded K(+) salts of the anionic complex [{:C[N(2,6-(i)Pr2C6H3)]2(CH)C}2Fe(mes)](-) (3) and the homoleptic organometallic anion [Fe(mes)3](-) (4). By contrast, reduction of 2 resulted in extensive decomposition and intractable product mixtures. …”
