✦ Synopsis


In the former compound the structure consists of a fcc stacking of Ta 6 Cl 18 units, while a pseudohexagonal AAA stacking of units is observed for the latter compound. The tetrahedral site of units, half-occupied by K Ψ‰ in KLuNb 6 Cl 18 is fully occupied by Cs Ψ‰ in Cs 2 PbTa 6 Cl 18 . The interatomic distances are consistent with valence electron concentrations per cluster (VEC) of 16 and 15 for Cs 2 PbTa 6 Cl 18 and CsPbTa 6 Cl 18 , respectively. It is the 5rst time that such a VEC of 15 is observed for a quaternary Me 6 X 18 -unit based compound; this feature is discussed in relation to the density functional theory results previously reported on Me 6 X 18 (Me ‫؍‬ Nb, Ta; X ‫؍‬ Cl, Br). 1999 Academic Press
