Metal‐centred heterocubane structures characterise the homoleptic tetrakis(silyl) complexes of zerovalent palladium and platinum, [MLi 4 {Si(3,5‐Me 2 pz) 3 } 4 ] (3,5‐Me 2 pz=3,5‐dimethylpyrazole; M=Pd or Pt), in which the central d 10 metal atom is surrounded by four silicon and four lithium atoms. Cyclic voltammetry shows that the corresponding cationic d 9 M I and dicationic d 8 M II complexes are accessible through one‐electron oxidation processes. For more details, see the Full Paper by F. Breher et al. on page 17899 ff.
