Molecular alloys : The composition and properties of the title compounds suggests that they can be regarded as molecular alloys. The single‐crystal structures of these phosphine‐stabilized compounds are determined (see picture for structure of [Cu 45 Sb 16 (PEt 2 Me) 16 ]; Sb red, Cu blue, P green) and confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
