This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.
A distorted In8 cubane core (see picture) is present in the novel indium cluster In8(C6H3-2,6-Mes2)4 (Mes=C6H2-2,4,6-Me3), which was synthesized by the reaction of LiC6H3-2,6-Mes2 with InCl. It has an average In−In bond length of 2.92 Å and represents a new addition to the range of heavier Group 13 element clusters.
