Cover Feature: Single‐Metal‐Encapsulated Double‐Cage [Pt@Sn17]4−: An Exception from Group 14 Endohedral Clusters (Chem. Eur. J. 64/2022)

An experimentalist removes one Pt atom from the capsule‐like [Pt2@Sn17]4− cluster lying on the conveyor that drags it through the computational frame. This deciphers an immediate transformation of the capsule‐like architecture to the singly encapsulated double‐cage structure in the reported [Pt@Sn17...

Description
Summary:An experimentalist removes one Pt atom from the capsule‐like [Pt2@Sn17]4− cluster lying on the conveyor that drags it through the computational frame. This deciphers an immediate transformation of the capsule‐like architecture to the singly encapsulated double‐cage structure in the reported [Pt@Sn17]4− cluster that arises due to the insufficient support of the inner metal atom and electron deficiency of the Ge framework.
