Syntheses, Vibrational Spectra, and Theoretical Studies of the Adamantanoid Sn4Ch10 4- (Ch = Se, Te) Anions: X-ray Crystal Structures of [18-Crown-6-K]4[Sn4Se10]·5en and [18-Crown-6-K]4[Sn4Te10]·3en·2THF
Abstract
The salts [18-crown-6-K](4)[Sn(4)Se(10)].5en and [18-crown-6-K](4)[Sn(4)Te(10)].3en.2THF were isolated upon addition of THF to the ethylenediamine (en) extracts of the alloys KSn(0.90)Se(1.93) and K(4)Sn(4)Te(10) that had been extracted in the presence of 18-crown-6 (1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane). The Sn(4)Te(10)(4-) anion has been structurally characterized for the first time by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of …
