title: Synthesis and solid state structure of a metalloid tin cluster [Sn10(trip8)].
abstract: (trip2Sn)2(trip = 2,4,6-i-Pr3C6H2) reacts with Mg(i) reductants (LMg)2(L = HC[C(Me)N(dipp)]2) and (L'Mg)2(L' = HC[C(Me)N(mes)]2) with Sn-C bond cleavage and formation of the novel metalloid tin cluster Sn10trip81 or elemental tin. 1, which contains Sn atoms in the formal oxidation states 0, +I and +II, and the side products LMgtrip (2) and L'Mgtrip (3) were characterized spectroscopically and by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
