Nine‐Atom Tin‐Bismuth Clusters: Mimicking Excess Electrons by Element Substitution

Nine‐Atom Tin‐Bismuth Clusters: Mimicking Excess Electrons by Element Substitution Avoiding negative charge: Combined experimental and theoretical evidence shows that neutral, nine‐atom tin‐bismuth clusters adopt structures of closely related tin (poly)anions (see figure; Sn gray, Bi blue). These clusters exhibit similar bonding arrangements as known from Zintl ions. Hence, element substitution can be used to eliminate the negative charge without affecting the bonding or structural motif. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png ChemPlusChem Wiley

Abstract

Avoiding negative charge: Combined experimental and theoretical evidence shows that neutral, nine‐atom tin‐bismuth clusters adopt structures of closely related tin (poly)anions (see figure; Sn gray, Bi blue). These clusters exhibit similar bonding arrangements as known from Zintl ions. Hence, element substitution can be used to eliminate the negative charge without affecting the bonding or structural motif.
