Mass spectrometry and photoelectron spectroscopy together with first principles theoretical calculations have been used to study the electronic and geometric properties of the following sodium-tin, cluster anion/neutral cluster combinations, (NanSn4)−/(NanSn4), n = 0–4 and (NaSnm)−/(NaSnm), m = 4–7. These synergistic studies found that specific Zintl anions, which are known to occur in condensed Zintl phases, also exist as stable moieties within free clusters. In particular, the cluster anion, (Na3Sn4)− is very stable and is characterized as (Na+) …
