Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The first example of the homonuclear pyramidanes, pentagermapyramidane, was synthesized, fully characterized, and computationally studied to reveal its peculiar structural features and the nature of its apex‐to‐base bonding interactions. Both solid‐state and solution structures of pentagermapyramidane are discussed based on the computed stabilities of its square‐pyramidal and distorted forms.</p> </abstract>
