8. All structures discussed in the text were calculated using density functional theory at the hybrid B3LYP level (Becke, A. D. J. Chem. Phys. 1993, 98, 5648.

10. Vibrational frequencies were calculated to confirm that the structures are true minima on the potential energy surfaces. The Stuttgart quasirelativistic pseudopotentials and basis sets were used to describe Pb and K (Fuentealba, P.; Preuss, H.; Stoll, H.; Szentpaly, L. V. Chem. Phys. Lett. 1982, 89, 418.
11. Bergner, A.; Dolg. M.; Kuechle, W.; Stoll, H.; Preuss, H. Mol. Phys. 1993, 80, 1431), with polarization and diffuse functions added for Pb [ζ(d) = 0.164, ζ(p) = 0.0171].
12. Vertical detachment energies for the ground state transitions were calculated as the energy difference between the neutrals and anions at the anion geometries. The calculations and orbital contours were accomplished using the Gaussian 03 program and Gauss View 3.0, respectively (Frisch, M. J.; et al. Gaussian 03, revision B.04; Gaussian, Inc.: Pittsburgh, PA, 2003).
