First benzene-mimicking molecule made entirely from palladium

Palladium hexagon is a rare example of all-metal aromatic nanocluster

Chemists have constructed the first hexagonal palladium cluster that not only looks like benzene but is also as aromatic. There are other non-carbon and metal clusters, some with regular and others with rarer types of aromaticity. But this is the first example of an all-metal system with benzene-like symmetry and π aromaticity.
