Abstract
In this contribution, we report a spirobis(pentagerma[1.1.1]propellane) derivative as a novel type of molecular architecture in cluster chemistry that features two spiro-fused [1.1.1]propellane units and represents a stable tetraradicaloid species. The crucial issue of the nature of the interaction between the germanium bridgeheads was probed computationally, revealing weak bonding interactions between the formally unpaired electrons.
