Inter-metalloid clusters in Zintl chemistry have been extensively studied due to their unique electronic structures and potential applications. In this work, we explored a series of actinide endohedral inter-metalloid clusters of the group 15 elements [An@Bi] (An = Th-U) and [An@Sb] using density functional theory (DFT). [Th@Bi] and [U@Bi] exhibit symmetry, while [Pa@Bi] and [An@Sb] (An = Th-U) have structures.

Reaction of the cesium antimonide complex [Cs(18C6)][SbH] (, 18C6 = 18-crown-6 ether) with the triamidoamine actinide separated ion pairs [An(Tren)(L)][BPh] (Tren = {N(CHCHNSiPr)}; An/L = Th/DME (); U/THF ()) affords the triactinide undeca-antimontriide Zintl clusters [{An(Tren)}(μ-Sb)] (An = Th (), U ()) by dehydrocoupling. Clusters and provide two new examples of the Sb Zintl trianion and are unprecedented examples of molecular Sb being coordinated to anything since all previous reports featured isolated Sb Zintl trianions in separated ion quadruple formulations with noncoordinating cations. Quantum chemical calculations describe dominant ionic An-Sb interactions in and , though the data suggest that the latter exhibits slightly more covalent An-Sb linkages than the former.
