Abstract

The novel binary P₄ analogue (Ge₂P₂)²⁻ proved to be a suitable precursor for heteroatomic cluster synthesis. Over time in solution, it rearranges to form (Ge₇P₂)²⁻, as shown by NMR studies and X-ray diffraction. Reactions of (Ge₂P₂)²⁻ with CdPh₂ afford [K(crypt-222)]₃[Cd₃(Ge₃P)₃], containing an unprecedented ternary cluster anion with a triangular Cd₃ moiety.
