This research project - Zintl hybrid cluster deals with the frantier inetrdiscipline of cluster chemistry: Zintl—metal carbonyl/organometallic hybrid cluster and Zintl nanocluster hybrid. The research project is promoted from the recent breakthrough achievements: the first Zintl hybrid cluster incorporating both Zintl cluster and metal carbonyl cluster and the controllable preparation of Zintl nanocluster hybrid. Novel prototypes of Zintl—metal carbonyl/organometallic hybrid cluster and Zintl hybrid nanoclusters are expectedly prepared from hybrid reactions between Zintl anions and metal carbonyl clusters/multiply-bonded organometallic complexes, as well as cluster-template-directed nano-construction of Zintl anions. We are armed at understanding the rules governing their synthesis, structure, reactivity, and chemical bonding, and hence establishing and developing new chemistry of Zintl hybrid cluster.
