Ag <sub>12</sub> [Ge <sub>9</sub> (Hyp) <sub>2</sub> ] <sub>6</sub> An Intermetalloid Cluster with Bis‐Silylated Ge <sub>9</sub> Units
We present the synthesis and characterization of the novel intermetalloid cluster compound Ag<sub>12</sub>[Ge<sub>9</sub>(Hyp)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>6</sub>, exhibiting a silver core surrounded by bis-silylated Ge<sub>9</sub>-clusters. The new intermetalloid cluster has an Ag<sub>12</sub> metal cluster core with silver atoms in different oxidation states. To the silver core six [Ge<sub>9</sub>(Hyp)<sub>2</sub>] units are coordinated, acting as ligands. The [Ge<sub>9</sub>(Hyp)<sub>2</sub>] units are arranged octahedrally around the Ag<sub>12</sub> core, leading to a variety of Ag-Ge bonds and contacts. The cluster is a first example of an intermetalloid cluster, exhibiting a silver core, shielded by [Ge<sub>9</sub>(Hyp)<sub>2</sub>] units.
