[{(CO)5Cr}6Ge6]2−, A Molecular Organometallic Derivative of the Unknown Zintl Ion [Ge6]2−

Abstract

Octahedral clusters from p-block elements are rare; however, the only known molecular aggregate of this kind, [{(CO)5Cr}6Sn6]2−, has now been supplemented by the isoelectronic cluster [{(CO)5Cr}6Ge6]2− (1).
