Fullerene‐type structures in other areas of chemistry? Fullercages are elements in feasible structure descriptions of a series of intermetallic phases. In contrast to the carbon fullerenes, single bonds are proposed in these systems, and rather than isolated cages, endohedral polyhedra and covalently bound adjacent cages are found. As an example, Na 96 In 97 Z 2 , Z = Ni, Pd, Pt, can be described as containing Z@In 10 @Na 39 @In 74 .
