Findings of magic peaks corresponding to M(8)C(12)(+) (M = V, Zr, and Hf) formed from reactions of the respective metals with various small hydrocarbons, in conjunction with recent findings for the titanium system, establish metallo-carbohedrenes as a stable general class of molecular cluster ions. A dodecahedral structure of T(h) point symmetry accounts for the stability of these ionic clusters.
由各种金属与不同小分子烃反应形成的对应于M(8)C(12)(+)（M = V、Zr和Hf）的幻峰发现，与钛体系的最新发现相结合，确立了金属碳硼烷作为分子簇离子的一类稳定的通用类别。具有T(h)点对称性的十二面体结构解释了这些离子簇的稳定性。
