To gain more insight into the reactivity of intermetalloid clusters, the reactivity of the Zintl phase K12Sn17, which contains [Sn-4](4-) and [Sn-9](4-) cluster anions, was investigated. The reaction of K12Sn17 with gold(I) phosphine chloride yielded K-7[(eta(2)-Sn-4) Au(eta(2)-Sn-4)](NH3)(16) (1) and K-17[(eta(2)-Sn-4) Au(eta(2)-Sn-4)](2)(NH2)(3)(NH3)(52) (2), which both contain the anion [(Sn-4) Au(Sn-4)](7-) (1a) that consists of two [Sn-4](4-) tetrahedra linked through a central gold atom. Anion 1a represents the first binary Au- Sn polyanion. From this reaction, the solvate structure [K([2.2.2]crypt)](3)K[Sn-9](NH3)(18) (3; [2.2.2]crypt=4,7,13,16,21,24-hexaoxa-1,10-diazabicyclo[8.8.8]hexacosane) was also obtained. In the analogous reaction of mesitylcopper with K12Sn17 in the presence of [18] crown-6 in liquid ammonia, crystals of the composition [K([18]crown-6)](2)[K([18]crown-6)(MesH)(NH3)][Cu@Sn-9](thf) (4) were isolated ([18] crown-6=1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadiene, MesH=mesitylene, thf=tetrahydrofuran) and featured a [Cu@Sn-9](3-) cluster. A similar reaction with [2.2.2] crypt as a sequestering agent led to the formation of crystals of [K[2.2.2]crypt][MesCuMes] (5). The cocrystallization of mesitylene in 4 and the presence of [MesCuMes](-) (5a) in 5 provides strong evidence that the migration of a bare Cu atom into an Sn-9 anion takes place through the release of a Mes(-) anion from mesitylcopper, which either migrates to another mesitylcopper to form 5a or is subsequently protonated to give MesH.
