ChemInform Abstract: Endohedrally Filled [Ni@Sn9]4‐and [Co@Sn9]5‐Clusters in the Neat Solids Na12Ni1‐xSn17 and K13‐xCo1‐xSn17: Crystal Structure and 119Sn Solid‐State NMR Spectroscopy.

The title Zintl phases are prepared by reactions of the corresponding elemental alkali metals with pre‐prepared M‐Sn alloys (M: Ni, Co) at 550—880 °C for 48 h.     

ChemInform Abstract: Characterization of the Oxo-Anions of Bromine BrO- x (x = 1-4) by IR,NMR, and Bromine K-Edge Extended X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure Techniques.

This detailed spectroscopic and structural study of the complete series BrO- x (x = 1-4) for the first time yields a value for the bond length in the hypobromite ion.     

ChemInform Abstract: Pressure‐Induced Phase Transition of SnH4: A New Layered Structure.

A new phase of SnH₄ with C2/m symmetry is predicted by first‐principle calculations using the Vienne ab initio simulation package (VSAP code) at pressures <400 GPa.
