We now propose a new, third example on 32e-bonding between a central metal atom and a ligand cage. Moreover, these actinide-filled Si-20 clusters could lead to novel silicon nanostructures. %G English %L hal-00880181 %U https://polytechnique.hal.science/hal-00880181 %~ X %~ CNRS %~ X-DCMR %~ X-DEP %~ X-DEP-CHIM %~ INC-CNRS %~ TEST2-HALCNRS
