Metalloid Clusters possess more metal–metal than metal–ligand contacts and contain metal atoms that participate only in metal–metal interactions. The metalloid cluster shown features a body‐centered Sn 15 core and six amido ligands (Sn blue, N green, Si yellow, C black). In the Communication by M. F. Lappert, P. P. Power, R. Herber, and co‐workers on page 4333 ff., the synthesis and structures of two such clusters are presented along with Mössbauer spectra, which show two distinct Sn environments.
