摘要

The synthesis of a new endohedral ten-vertex Zintl ion cluster, Fe@Sn _(10)~(3-), isoelectronic with Fe@Ge_(10) ~(3-), is reported. In an attempt to place this new cluster within the context of the known structural chemistry of the M@E_(10) family (M = transition metal, E = main group element), we have carried out a detailed electronic structure analysis of the different structural types: viz bicapped square antiprismatic (Ni@Pb_(10)~(2-), Zn@In _(10)~(8-)), tetra-capped trigonal prismatic (Ni@In _(10)~(10-)) and the remarkable pentagonal prismatic Fe@Ge_(10)~(3-) and Co@Ge_(10)~(3-). We establish that the structural trends can be interpreted in terms of a continuum of effective electron counts at the E_(10) cage, ranging from electron deficient (4n + 2) in Fe@Ge_(10)~(3-). The effective electron count differs from the total valence electron count in that it factors in the increasingly active role of the metal d electrons towards the left of the transition series. The preference for a pentagonal prismatic geometry in Fe@Ge_(10)~(3-) emerges as a natural consequence of backbonding to the cage from four orthogonal 3d orbitals of the low-valent metal ion. Our calculations suggest that the new Fe@Sn_(10)~(3-) cluster should also exhibit structural consequences of backbonding from the metal to the cage, albeit to a less extreme degree than in its Ge analogue. The global minimum lies on a very flat surface connecting D_(4d), C _(2v) and C_(3v)-symmetric minima, suggesting a very plastic structure that may be easily deformed by the surrounding crystal environment. If so, then this provides a new and quite distinct structural type for the M@E_(10) family.
