Abstract

AbstractWe present a series of new intermetalloid clusters (R3P)CuGe9((Hyp)3, (R=Me, Et, iPr, nBu, tBu) (Hyp=Si(SiMe3)3) (R3P)AuGe9(Hyp)3MGe9(Hyp)3 (R=Ph, Me; M=Au, Cu). In conjunction with already known clusters, these give new insights into the bonding situation of metal bridged Ge9 clusters as well as a better understanding of the formation of these clusters. Additionally, the intermetalloid clusters with the smallest phosphine PMe3 show new bonding motives.
