Abstract
- We report the synthesis of two new cluster anions, [Cu <subscript>4</subscript> @E <subscript>18</subscript> ] <superscript>4-</superscript> (E = Sn, Pb), in which a Cu <subscript>4</subscript> subunit is incorporated into a continuous E <subscript>18</subscript> tetrel cage. Both anions are characterized by X-ray crystallography and mass spectrometry, complemented by quantum-chemical calculations that highlight the relationships to known Zintl clusters, including the stannaspherenes and plumbaspherenes [M@Sn <subscript>12</subscript> ] <superscript> q -</superscript> and [M@Pb <subscript>12</subscript> ] <superscript> q -</superscript> , the Matryoshka bronze [Sn@Cu <subscript>12</subscript> @Sn <subscript>20</subscript> ] <superscript>12-</superscript> , and also [Pd <subscript>2</subscript> @E' <subscript>18</subscript> ] <superscript>4-</superscript> (E' = Ge, Sn).
