10. The structural motif of a truncated tetrahedron is described in: a) S. Leininger, J. Fan, M. Schmitz, P. J. Stang, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2000, 97, 1380-1384. The formal distinction between a truncated tetrahedron and a hexanuclear adamantanoid is illustrated on p. 857 in ref. [1a] these two motif types differ only in the directing angle of the ligands (109.5° in an adamantanoid but 120° in a truncated tetrahedron). A "super-adamantanoid" involving a ligand which is theoretically capable of forming a strict adamantanoid has been reported in:
