Speciation of Be<sup>2+</sup> in acidic liquid ammonia and formation of tetra- and octanuclear beryllium amido clusters
Matthias Müller, Antti J. Karttunen, Magnus R. Buchner
Abstract
The boundaries of beryllium metal oxidation in acidic ammonia have been explored. This enabled the isolation of the tetra- and octa-nuclear beryllium amide complexes. The latter exhibits a completely new structural motive in coordination chemistry.
