Abstract:
Caged chalcogens : A series of novel, functionalized TnSm cages (T=Ge, Sn; n/m=4:6, 3:4) with terminal COO(H) or COMe groups were synthesized and show further reactivity toward CuI complexes (an example of which is shown here) and to hydrazines. This led to the generation of functionalized Cu/T/S clusters or the formation of Schiff bases at the C?O groups, respectively, with or without further fragmentation of the T/S core.
