These Sbn clusters feature unique chemical bonding, fascinating structures, and special stabilities that can be well rational- ized by aromaticity or antiaromaticity. A deep understanding to their electronic structures is essential and will greatly facilitate the experimental synthesis of new Sbn cluster-based materials.展开更多
