The synthesis of the new binary Cs 8− x Si 46 (shown here) completes the series of binary alkali metal silicides with a clathrate‐I structure M 8− x Si 46 (M=Na, K, Rb, Cs). In contrast with the lighter homologues, Cs 8− x Si 46 can be prepared only at elevated pressures. The compound was obtained at 1200 °C between 2–10 GPa and the Cs content rises with applied pressure.
