Addition of Alkenes to Deltahedral Zintl Clusters by Reaction with Alkynes:Synthesis and Structure of [Fc-GH=CHGe9CH=CH-Fc]~(2-),an Organo-Zintl-Organometallic Anion

摘要

The chemistry of nine-atom deltahedral Zintl anions of germanium has made huge strides in recent years.The early expectations for low or no chemical reactivity have now been proven wrong as these clusters have been shown to be capable of undergoing a variety of reactions,such as oligomerization,addition of various main-group and transition-metal organo-metallic fragments,centering by transition-metal atoms,cage expansion,and so on.
