Cluster‐based clathrate : Mo 4 S i 4 Cl a 12 inorganic building blocks (see picture, i=inner, a=apical) containing Mo 4 metal atom clusters assemble to yield an inorganic giant framework structurally related to type II clathrate. This compound is the first member of a promising family of materials with a wide range of physical properties that combine the chemistry of metallic clusters characterized by delocalized electrons with that of inorganic clathrates.
