Abstract

Extraction of RbSnBi in liquid ammonia yielded the cluster anion [Sn3Bi5](3-), which could be crystallized in the compound [Rb@[2.2.2]crypt](3)[Sn3Bi5]8.87NH(3). This anion is found to be derived from the formerly reported [Sn4Bi4](4-) by the formal substitution of one tin atom by bismuth. In contrast, the extraction of RbSn2/Rb3Bi2 in liquid ammonia yielded the anion [Sn3Bi3](5-) in the compound Rb-6[Sn3Bi3][Sn-4](1/4)6.75NH(3). The structural correlation of the two novel clusters indicates that [Sn3Bi3](5-) might be an intermediate of the reaction pathway to [Sn3Bi5](3-) and [Sn4Bi4](4-). Each cluster is investigated by means of the electron localization function and further characterization was performed by using ESI-MS.
