The First Chelate-Free Crystal Structure of a Silicide Transition Metal Complex [K0.28Rb7.72Si9Ni(CO)2]2·16NH3

Single-crystals X-ray structure analysis of very thermally labile and moisture sensitive ammoniate crystals of [K0.28Rb7.72Si9Ni(CO)2]2·16NH3 show the presence of the very rarely observed nickel-silicide complex [{Ni(CO)2}2(µ-Si9)2]8−, which was up to now only known in the 18-crown-6 involving solid...
