[SnI<sub>8</sub> {Fe(CO)<sub>4</sub> }<sub>4</sub> ][Al<sub>2</sub> Cl<sub>7</sub> ]<sub>2</sub> contains the [SnI<sub>8</sub> {Fe(CO)<sub>4</sub> }<sub>4</sub> ]<sup>2+</sup> cation with an unprecedented highly coordinated, bicapped SnI<sub>8</sub> prism. Given the eightfold coordination with the most voluminous stable halide, it is all the more surprising that this SnI<sub>8</sub> arrangement is surrounded only by fragile Fe(CO)<sub>4</sub> groups in a clip-like fashion. Inspite of a predomina ...[more]
