Like a Russian doll : In the nanomolecule Sc 24 C 10 I 30 , an outer I 30 envelope (pink) surrounds a Sc 20 T3 supertetrahedron (blue), which is filled by a C 10 T2 supertetrahedron (gray), which, in turn, is filled by a Sc 4 T1 tetrahedron (light gray), containing two electrons in a four‐center, two‐electron bond.
