The molecular cadmium phosphonate [(MeCd) 10 {(thf)Cd} 4 Cd 6 (μ 4 ‐O) 2 (μ 3 ‐OH) 2 ( t BuPO 3 ) 12 ] (see picture) is unlike all other such Cd compounds, which are polymeric or layered structures. It contains a 68‐atom inorganic hollow skeleton made up of twenty cadmium (green), twelve phosphorus (purple), and thirty‐six oxygen atoms (red), held together internally by pairs of oxo and hydroxo groups.
