title: Counterion-induced crystallization of intermetalloid Matryoshka clusters [Sb@Pd12@Sb20]3-,4.
abstract: Two intermetalloid Matryoshka cluster anions [Sb@Pd12@Sb20]3-,4-obtained from the reaction of KSb and Pd(PPh3)4were isolated as [K(2,2,2-cryptand)]+and [K(18-crown-6)]+salt, respectively, and characterized by X-ray crystallography, EPR measurement and DFT theoretical calculations.
