The development of rational synthetic routes to inorganic arsenide compounds is an important goal because these materials are finding applications in many areas of materials science. In this paper, we show that the binary crown clusters [M@As] (M = Nb, Ta) can be used as synthetic precursors which, when combined with ZnMes, generate ternary intermetalloid clusters with 12-vertex cages, {M@[As(ZnMes)]} (M = Nb, Ta). Structural studies are complemented by mass spectrometry and an analysis of the electronic structure using DFT. The synthesis of these clusters presents new opportunities for the construction of As-based nanomaterials.

Endohedral clusters count as molecular models for intermetallic compounds-a class of compounds in which bonding principles are scarcely understood. Herein we report soluble cluster anions with the highest charges on a single cluster to date. The clusters reflect the close analogy between intermetalloid clusters and corresponding coordination polyhedra in intermetallic compounds.

We report on the asymmetric occupation of a 12-vertex cluster centered by a single metal atom. Three salts of related intermetalloid cluster anions, [Co@Sn Sb ] (1), [Co @Sn Sb ] (2), and [Ni @Sn Sb ] (3) were synthesized, which have pseudo-C -symmetric or pseudo-D -symmetric 12-vertex Sn/Sb shells and interstitial Co ions or Ni atoms. Anion 1 is a very unusual single-metal-"centered" 12-atom cluster, with the inner atom being clearly offset from the cluster center for energetic reasons.

Reaction of [GaBi3](2-) with [Sm(C5Me4H)3] yielded the first protonated ternary intermetalloid clusters [Sm@Ga(3-x)H(3-2x)Bi(10+x)](3-) (1; x = 0,1). The presence of the Ga-H bonds and the transfer of electrons and protons during the formation of 1 were elucidated by a combination of experimental and quantum chemical methods, thereby rationalizing the role of the solvent ethane-1,2-diamine as a Brønsted acid. As an organic by-product, we observed the previously unknown octamethylfulvene (2) upon C-C coupling of (C5Me4H)(-).
