Formation of novel anionic gold-tin cluster compounds

摘要

A straightforward procedure for the formation of mixed metal Au/Sn clusters is presented: reaction of the heteroborate [SnB11H11](2-) with phosphine gold electrophiles gave the Clusters [Bu3NH](3)[{Et3P)Au(SnB11H11)}(3)] and [Bu3MeN](4)[{(dppm)Au-2(SnB11H11)(2)}(2)], which were characterised by X-ray diffraction.
