A sandwich-type cluster containing Ge@Pd3 planar fragment flanked by aromatic nonagermanide caps

Sandwich-type clusters containing heterometallic interlayers have remained elusive. Here, the authors present the structure of a cluster composed of two aromatic nonagermanide caps flanking an heterometallic Ge@Pd3 planar fragment, where the Ge center is formally zerovalent.
