An eleven-vertex deltahedron with hexacapped trigonal bipyramidal geometry [PDF]
The first elemental cluster with hexacapped trigonal bipyramidal geometry is revealed in the luminescent undecanuclear silver complex which is stabilized by nine dithiocarbamate ligands and has an interstitial hydride. The hydride position within the Ag(11) cage is confirmed by a DFT investigation.

A sandwich-type cluster containing Ge@Pd3 planar fragment flanked by aromatic nonagermanide caps. [PDF]
Sandwich-type clusters with the planar fragment containing a heterometallic sheet have remained elusive. In this work, we introduce the [K(2,2,2-crypt)]4{(Ge9)2[η6-Ge(PdPPh3)3]} complex that contains a heterometallic sandwich fragment. The title compound

Toward Transition-Metal-Templated Construction of Arylated B4 Chains by Dihydroborane Dehydrocoupling. [PDF]
Daisy chains of boron: Reactions of dihydroboranes with [(Cp*Ru)2(μ‐H)4] led to complexes arising from differing extents of hydrogen loss, including mono‐ and dinuclear trihydroborate complexes, bridging borylene complexes, and a dinuclear complex bearing a tetraarylated B4 unit.

The topological uniqueness of the deltahedra found in the boranes BnHn2− (6⩽n⩽12) [PDF]
The deltahedra observed experimentally in the borane anions BnHn2− (6≤n≤12) are the only possible n-vertex deltahedra having only degree 4 and 5 vertices.

3coSoKu and its declarative modeling [PDF]
In this paper, we analyze the physical puzzle IcoSoKu, a game about placing some given triangular tiles on the faces of an icosahedron in order to fill the capacities of its vertices, and we propose its generalization called 3coSoKu, admitting an ...

The Arachno‐Zintl Ion (Sn$_{5}$Sb$_{3}$)$^{3-}$ and the Effects of Element Composition on the Structures of Isoelectronic Clusters: Another Facet of the Pseudo‐Element Concept [PDF]
he pseudo‐element concept, in its most general formulation, states that isoelectronic atoms form equal numbers of bonds. Hence, clusters such as Zintl ions usually retain their structure upon isoelectronic replacement of some or all atoms.
