Abstract
⺠The coinage metal encapsulated group 14 cationic clusters X10M+ with X = Ge, Sn, Pb and M = Cu, Ag, Au are magic cluster with high stability and aromaticity. ⺠The concept of doubly spherical aromaticity, based on the number of 2(N + 1)2 Ï and Ï valence electrons, is proposed to account for the enhanced stability. ⺠Predictions are in good agreement with experiment for available X10Cu+ clusters.
