The solubility of the ternary Zintl phase K(12)Si(17-x)Ge(x) (x = 5), containing mixed group 14 element clusters, was investigated. Novel dimeric tetrahedral Zintl clusters [(η(2)-E(4))Zn(η(2)-E(4))](6-) with mixed site occupation (E = Si/Ge) were obtained through reaction with (C(6)H(6))(2)Zn in ammonia solutions and investigated by means of X-ray single crystal diffraction.
