title: [Ge9{Si(SiMe3)3}3{SnPh3}]: a tetrasubstituted and neutral deltahedral nine-atom cluster.
abstract: Reaching neutral territory: The title compound, the first tetrasubstituted deltahedral Zintl cluster, is no longer an ion (see picture; Ge green, Si purple, Sn blue). It is a neutral molecule formed by a reaction of the trisilylated anion with Ph(3) SnCl.
