Tetrahedral cages of tin and silicon are well‐established in solid compounds of these elements with electropositive metals, but for a long time, doubt remained as to whether the classic Zintl formulation of a complete charge transfer would lead to stable anions if extracted by solvents. In their Communication on page 4483 ff. , N. Korber, R. M. Gschwind, and co‐workers present the detection by NMR spectroscopy of Sn 4 4− and Si 4 4− dissolved in liquid ammonia.
