Another large group of polyhedral cluster compounds of Group 14 are the Zintl anions, which are obtained from the Group 14 element by reduction, thus metalloid clusters and Zintl anions are separated by the elemental state.

41. The comparable Ge-Ge-C angle α in 4 (216°) is far from the transition point between regions II and III.
42. Similar results were recently obtained for a bicyclic [2.2.0] germanium compound. These calculations, however, did not investigate the transitions between the regions depicted in Figure 3;, X.

45. -3) are close to the tin atoms with coordination number three. The distance between these residual electron densities is around 260 pm, corresponding to a bonded system in region II. Further investigations applying synchrotron radiation may provide a deeper insight if both isomers, that is, the singlet biradicaloid form and the classically bonded 2c2e case, are both present in the solid state.
