The hole story? A super‐supertetrahedral anionic cluster of 214 atoms and 80 tetrahedral units is prepared. The crystal structure has finite tetrahedral units of [Cd 16 In 64 S 134 ] 44− ions composed of four T4 supertetrahedra (see picture). Each cluster is nearly a regular tetrahedron with edge lengths of 31.06 and 31.07 Å, and has large octahedral cavity (yellow sphere).
