Correction to: Nature Chemistry https://doi.org/10.1038/s41557-025-01765-4, published online 18 March 2025.

In the version of the article initially published, in the Abstract, the phrase “E5 rings (E = Sb, Nb)” should have been “E5 rings (E = Sb, Bi)”. Additionally, the author names were incorrect in ref. 11 which has now been amended to “Yong, L., Hoffmann, S. D., Fässler, T. F., Riedel, S. & Kaupp, M. [Pb5{Mo(CO)3}2]4−: a complex containing a planar Pb5 unit. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 44, 2092–2096 (2005)” in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
