Synthesis and structure of 1-D Na6 cluster chain with short Na-Na distance: organic like aromaticity in inorganic metal cluster.
A unique 1-D chain of sodium cluster containing (Na6) rings stabilized by a molybdenum containing metalloligand has been synthesized and characterized and the DFT calculations show striking resemblance in their aromatic behaviour with the corresponding hydrocarbon analogues.
