Finally, a dimeric nonastannide Zintl anion : The cluster anion [Ag(Sn 9 Sn 9 )] 5− ( 1 ; see picture; blue Sn, red Ag) is obtained from Zintl anion [Sn 9 ] 4− by an oxidative coupling reaction. An X‐ray structure determination reveals that the SnSn exo bond is also supported by a silver cation. Moreover, 1 is the first cluster consisting only of silver and tin atoms.
