    Abstract:
    The title compounds were prepared by direct reactions of the corresponding elements at high temperature. They are isostructural with each other (monoclinic, P2(1)/m, Z = 2; Na(8)BaPb(6), a = 13.116(4), b = 5.351(1), and c = 16.166(5) A, beta = 108.07(2) degrees; Na(8)BaSn(6), a = 12.897(4), b = 5.362(1), and c = 16.826(5) A, beta = 108.19(2) degrees; Na(8)EuSn(6), a = 12.912(2), b = 5.220(1), and c = 15.721(2) A, beta = 108.09(1) degrees ) and contain isolated, flat, and aromatic pentagonal rings of Sn(5)(6)(-) and Pb(5)(6)(-) as well as isolated anions of Sn(4)(-) and Pb(4)(-). According to four-probe conductivity measurements, the tin compounds, Na(8)BaSn(6) and Na(8)EuSn(6), are semiconducting with band gaps of 0.11 and 0.09 eV, respectively, and are therefore electronically balanced. Magnetic measurements show that Na(8)BaSn(6) is diamagnetic while Na(8)EuSn(6) is paramagnetic and undergoes two transitions at low temperatures.
