In this work, we synthesize naked tin cluster anion Sn368−, representing the first example of pure Sn nanowire assembled through oxidative coupling reactions of a super atomic cluster Sn94−. Theoretical analysis confirm the presence of aromaticity for each Sn9 unit showing four adjacent aromatic subunits bridged by parallel Sn–Sn bonds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
