Carbene is key : Utilization of an N‐heterocyclic carbene ligand permitted access to the neutral, octahedral closo cluster 1 , a prototype of a new class of carbene‐stabilized main‐group‐element clusters. Quantum chemical methods lend insight into the bonding situation in such clusters and reveal systematic relationships.
