✦ Synopsis


Na 6 Sn 4 Se 11 ´22 H 2 O can be crystallised at ±8 °C as yellow-orange needles from the 1 : 2 H 2 O/CH 3 OH mother liquor of a superheated reaction mixture of NaOH(s), Sn and Se. The bicyclic [Sn 4 Se 11 ] 6± anion exhibits crystallographic C 2 symmetry and is composed of corner-bridged SnSe 4 tetrahedra. Two opposite tin atoms of an Sn 4 Se 4 8-membered ring are linked by a common Se atom, thereby affording two 6-membered boat-shaped Sn 3 Se 3 rings with a shared Sn±Se±Sn bridging unit. [Sn 4 Se 11 ] 6± thus represents the immediate precursor of the well-known adamantane-like [Sn 4 Se 10 ] 4± anion.

The reaction of one equivalent of In with a molten flux of (Ph 4 P) 2 Se 5 and P 2 Se 5 (1 : 2), at 250 °C gave the (Ph 4 P)[In(P 2 Se 6 )] (I). Stoichiometric elemental synthesis at 750 °C produced the Cs 5 In(P 2 Se 6 ) 2 (II). The thin, yellow crystals of (I), and the irregular, dark orange cryst
