Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Donations accepted : The reaction of [{LAl[(SLi)2(thf)2]}2] (L = HC(CMeNAr) 2, Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) with GeCl 2·dioxane yields the novel GeII→Ge II-containing hetero-trimetallic [L2Al2Ge 4Li2S7] cluster, which has a crablike structure (Al gray, Ge magenta, Li orange, S yellow, O green, N blue, C light gray). This cluster is the first aluminum-containing hetero-trimetallic sulfide.
