Fig. 2: Structures of the cluster-1 {(Ge9)2[η6-Ge(PdPPh3)3]}4- and its selected fragments.
From: A sandwich-type cluster containing Ge@Pd3 planar fragment flanked by aromatic nonagermanide caps
a The structure of the cluster-1, (H and C atoms are omitted for clarity, displacement ellipsoids with 35% probability). b The structure of Ge9 subunit. c The structure of planar Ge@Pd3 subunit.
