Abstract

The [Sb₆(RuCp*)₂]²⁻ (1) anion represents the first example of a Zintl cluster with a boat-like cyclo-Sb₆ subunit and the first ruthenium polyantimonide complex. The anion is dynamic in solution and fragments in the gas phase. Structural parameters and DFT calculations suggest the possibility of Sb [double bond, length as m-dash] Sb double bond character.
