The reaction of the metalloid tin cluster [Sn10(Hyp)4]2− with (Ph3P)Au-SHyp (Hyp = Si(SiMe3)3) gave an intermetalloid cluster [Au3Sn18(Hyp)8]−1, which is the longest intermetalloid chain compound of tin to date. 1 shows a structural resemblance to binary AuSn phases, which is expected for intermetalloid clusters.
