Binary molecular Zintl anions, which consist of either two different p-block atoms or one type of p- and d-block atoms each do not only exhibit exceptional cage-type architectures, but they have also served as starting materials for a variety of derivatives. Like their homoatomic cousins, they can be treated in regard of the structure-electron count relationship by application of either the 8 – N rule or Wade-Mingos rules. This review article provides a full collection of representative known examples and comments on the respective bonding situations and structures, also in the context of contemporary inorganic synthesis and materials chemistry. |
