This work presents the synthesis of a naked tin cluster anion, Sn-36(8-), which represents the first example of a pure tin nanowire assembled through oxidative coupling reactions of a superatomic cluster, Sn-9(4-). Theoretical analysis confirms the presence of aromaticity for each Sn-9 unit, with four adjacent aromatic subunits bridged by parallel Sn-Sn bonds.
