The pivotal role of clusters and aromaticity in chemistry is undeniable, but there remains a gap in systematically understanding the aromaticity of metal-organic clusters. Herein, this article presents a novel metal-organic π-cluster, melding both metal-organic chemistry and aromaticity, to guide th...
