A unique feature among polyhedron frameworks of boron group elements is exhibited by the In 12 framework of the black‐violet dodecaindane R * 8 In 12 (R*=Si t Bu 3 ), which can be obtained by the thermolysis of R * 2 In−InR * 2 . The molecular structure of R * 8 In 12 ( t Bu groups omitted in picture shown) can be described as a combination of two R * 4 In 6 octahedral building blocks and can thus be classified as a conjuncto dodecaindane.
