Plato and Kepler would have been pleased. Despite the large number of atoms present the cluster anion 1 resembles an icosahedral-type structure. This represents definitively an unprecedented event in chemistry! The structure is made up of 12 {Mo } fragments such that the fivefold symmetry axes are retained in the resulting spherical object. As an inscribed icosahedron can be recognized in the spherical shell of 1 (see picture), similarities with Kepler's famous shell model of the cosmos can be seen.
柏拉图和开普勒定会感到欣慰。尽管存在大量原子，但簇阴离子1类似于二十面体类型的结构。这无疑代表了化学领域前所未有的事件！该结构由12个{钼}片段组成，使得五重对称轴在所得的球形物体中得以保留。由于在1的球壳中可以识别出一个内接二十面体（见图），因此可以看出与开普勒著名的宇宙壳层模型有相似之处。
