A nanosized metal oxide wheel of the molybdenum blue type of polyoxometalates, the discovery of which was considered as a step to new length scales, has been studied by STM. In their Communication on page 7018 ff., A. Müller, L. Chi, H. Fuchs, and co‐workers report that the Mo 154 cluster has a unique compartmentalized electronic structure, in which each compartment contains two delocalized electrons. This discovery allows a better understanding of these species.
