Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) A multitude of new binding modes: A [Bi 10Au2]6+ heteroicosahedron and two (SbBi 3Br9)3- hemispheres form molecular cluster [Bi10Au2](SbBi3Br9)2 (see picture: Bi blue, Au yellow, Sb green, Br dark red). The [Bi 10Au2]6+ polycation involves significant bismuth-gold interactions. The molecule also exhibits a rare interpnicogen covalent bond between bismuth and antimony and a complex donor-acceptor bond between the anionic caps and the polycation.
