The cyclo-Sb6 ring in the [Sb6(RuCp*)2]2− ion

Abstract

The [Sb6(RuCp*)2]2− 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Sb double bond character.
