Magic ball : A spherical aggregate containing a core of 32 inorganic atoms (see structure) was prepared by coordination of a cyclo ‐P 4 tantalum complex to copper( I ) chloride. The phosphorus/copper core exhibits an arrangement of alternating four‐ and six‐membered rings, which are reminiscent of the hypothetical O h ‐symmetric fullerene C 32 .
