Ligand-free supermolecules: [Pd<sub>2</sub>@Ge<sub>18</sub>]<sup>4−</sup> and [Pd<sub>2</sub>@Sn<sub>18</sub>]<sup>4−</sup> as multiple-bonded Zintl-ion clusters based on Pd@Ge<sub>9</sub> and Pd@Sn<sub>9</sub> assembled units

Abstract
oblate cluster as two spherical aromatic units. Hence, the notion of superatomic molecules is extended to Zintl-ion clusters, favoring further rationalization for the fabrication of cluster-assembled solids.
