We report the first disubstituted hetero-ten-vertex closo cluster [(CrGe₉)Cr₂(CO)₁₃]^4- with three adjacent Cr(CO)_n units adopting both η⁵ and η¹ coordination modes, which was synthesized through the reaction of "KGe_1.67" with (MeCN)₃Cr(CO)₃ and Cr(CO)₆ in ethylenediamine (en) solution. In contrast to the η¹-Cr atoms forming localized two-center two-elelctron (2c-2e) Cr-Ge bonds, the hetero atom η⁵-Cr exhibits versatile bonding mechanisms including three 5c-2e and five 8c-2e delocalized bonds which account for Hückel aromaticity. Intricate multi-center bonding patterns delineate the multiple local σ-aromatic characters of the title cluster displaying explicit spherical aromaticity.
