The nanosized icosahedral‐based cluster [Pd 69 (CO) 36 (PEt 3 ) 18 ] (see picture) exhibits two new salient stereochemical features: 1) a linear face‐condensation of three centered icosahedra that gives rise to a linear face‐sharing Pd 33 ‐centered triicosahedron, and 2) a hexagonal‐shaped Pd 30 tube formed by cyclic trans edge‐sharing of six Pd 7 ‐centered hexagons (host), inside of which resides the linear triicosahedron (permanent guest).
