In this work, we synthesize naked tin cluster anion Sn 36 8- , representing the first example of pure Sn nanowire assembled through oxidative coupling reactions of a super atomic cluster Sn 9 4- . Theoretical analysis confirm the presence of aromaticity for each Sn 9 unit showing four adjacent aromatic subunits bridged by parallel Sn-Sn bonds.
