Uniform arrays of intrazeolite germanium nanoclusters have been produced by the topotactic chemical vapor deposition of digermane within the diamond network of α‐cages of acid zeolite Y and the main channel of mordenite. The conditions within the zeolite hosts enusure that the Ge 2 H 6 CVD‐type anchored precursors self‐assemble to produce the anchored (Ge 8 ) n ⊕ nanoclusters shown in the Figure.
