Reaching neutral territory: The title compound, the first tetrasubstituted deltahedral Zintl cluster, is no longer an ion (see picture; Ge green, Si purple, Sn blue). It a molecule formed by reaction of trisilylated anion with Ph3SnCl. Detailed facts importance to specialist readers are published as "Supporting Information".
