[(Pd-Pd)@Ge18]4-: a palladium dimer inside the largest single-cage deltahedron.
The largest single-cage deltahedral cluster is made of 18 germanium atoms and is centered by a pair of palladium atoms. Its shape is very close to the ideal D3d symmetry expected and predicted for a cluster of this size.
