A different drummer : The existence of endohedral germanium clusters was predicted earlier by gas‐phase experiments. The [Co@Ge 10 ] 3− anion now synthesized is surprising, as it breaks with a long line of exclusively deltahedral structures found in the past. Instead, it has a regular pentagonal‐prismatic structure (see picture; Co gray, Ge red).
