Present theoretical investigation reveals that the Al4 unit in neutral Al4Na4 and anion Al4Na3- clusters has 4n π electrons and has a rectangular structure with alternate π bonds. Hence, neutral Al4Na4 and anion Al4Na3- clusters satisfy the criteria for antiaromaticity and are metallo-antiaromatic compounds.
