Abstract

The solvothermal reaction among tellurium, manganese, and the Zintl compound K₄Ge₉ has led to the formation of a polymeric mixed-valent complex {[Mn(en)₃]₂(Ge₅Te₁₀)}_n (1; en=ethylenediamine). The most interesting structural feature of this material Is the presence of three different oxidation states of germanium centers and the formation of Ge-Ge bonds In the infinite polymeric chains ¹/_∞{[Ge₅Te₁₀]^4-). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterization confirms the different oxidation states of germanium. © 2009 American Chemical Society.
