Reactions between ethylenediamine solutions of K4Ge9 and triphenylindium yielded three novel Zintl ions, [In(Ge-9)(2)](5-) (1), [(Ge-9)(2)In(C6H5)](4-) (2), and [Ge-9{In(C6H5)(3)}(2)}](4-) (3). Species 1 exhibits an indium metal atom coordinated by two nine-atom germanium cages which bond to the central metal in an eta(3)-mode. The "staggered" arrangement of the two clusters confers the indium metal centre an octahedral coordination geometry. Species 2 displays trigonal planar coordination around the indium atom with an [In(C6H5)](2+) moiety acting as a bridge between the two halves of a [Ge-9-Ge-9](6-) dimer. Finally, species 3 is composed of a [Ge-9](4-) deltahedral Zintl ion acting as a Lewis base to two In(C6H5)(3) moieties. All three anions were characterized in the solid-state by single-crystal X-ray diffraction in [K(2,2,2-crypt)](5)[1]center dot 2en, [K(2,2,2-crypt)](4)[2]center dot 3tol and [K(2,2,2-crypt)](4)[3], respectively. The existence of the anions in solution was confirmed by electrospray mass-spectrometry. DFT level calculations were also conducted on all of the cluster anions. (C) 2012 Elsevier B. V.
