A theoretical study on 10 z systems ( z = −5 to +1) predicts a singlet D 5 h pentagonal prismatic global minimum for the trianion 10 3– in accord with this experimental result. The complete absence of triangular faces in the pentagonal prismatic structure of 10 3– contradicts expectations from the well-established Wade–Mingos rules, which predict polyhedral structures having mainly or entirely triangular faces. toluene and characterized structurally by X-ray diffraction.One of the most exciting recent (2009) discoveries in metal cluster chemistry is the pentagonal prismatic 10 3– ion, found in 4 10]
