Reactions of nine-atom deltahedral clusters (Zintl ions) of tin, Sn94−, with alkyl chlorides, RCl (R = tBu, nBu, sBu), and alkynes (Me3Si−C≡C−SiMe3, Ph−C≡CH) yielded the corresponding alkylated and alkenylated clusters [Sn9−R]3−. The triple bonds of the alkynes are hydrogenated to double bonds in the process. These are the first tin-based organo-Zintl ions, that is Zintl ions of tin that were subsequently functionalized with organic groups. They are analogous to the recently reported germanium-based derivatives. The tBu-, vinyl-, and styrene-functionalized clusters [Sn9−tBu]3−, [Sn9−CH=CH2]3−, and [Sn9−CH=CH−Ph]3−, respectively, were structurally characterized in the solid state with [K(2,2,2-crypt)]+ countercations and in solution by electrospray mass spectrometry.
