Zintl to the third : [Zn§Zn 5 Sn 3 Bi 3 §Bi 5 ] 4− (see structure), the first ternary intermetalloid Zintl anion, was obtained upon reaction of the binary anion [Sn 2 Bi 2 ] 2− with ZnPh 2 in 1,2‐diaminoethane/[2.2.2]crypt solution. X‐ray structure analysis and DFT calculations indicate varied bonding within the intermetalloid cage and rationalize the impact of the ternary composition on structural and electronic properties.
