How to simplify a complex thing : A salt of the heaviest intermetalloid cluster known to date, [K([2.2.2]crypt)] 4 [Pd@Pd 2 Pb 10 Bi 6 ]⋅2 en, resulted from a reaction of [Pd(PPh 3 ) 4 ] with [K([2.2.2]crypt)] 2 (Pb 2 Bi 2 )⋅2 en in ethane‐1,2‐diamine (en). The electron number of the ternary intermetalloid anion accords with Wade–Mingos rules, as the [Pd(η 3 ‐Bi 3− x Pb x )] ( x +1)− ( x =0, 1) 14‐electron fragments formed in situ are isolobal with Pb atoms.
