Interestingly, such a notion of a chemical bond involves the interaction between orbitals of separated nuclei with different origins at a fixed distance. Herein, we discuss modern aspects of chemical bonding in inorganic systems, opening a novel notion of the versatility of this concept by introducing the Concentric Bond along the superatom approach\u00b2, involving the interaction of orbitals that remain coincident with a common origin. In addition, the role of the bond variation at optically excited states as a key factor in luminescent properties is discussed.<\/p><p>These non-classical features are discussed in ligand-protected gold clusters, which enables a further rationalization of their electronic structures and luminescent properties with successful predictions, which can be employed to envisage molecular materials based on individual building blocks. The intercluster bonding is discussed, involving 1S and 1P superatomic shells and 8- cluster electron centers, is discussed,\u00b3 showing single, double, and aromatic bonds, in addition to a hypothetical example for a triple bond and eclipsed- \/staggered isomerism.\u2074 \u2075 Moreover, bonding in 1D-shell based superatoms is discussed \u2076, featuring multiple 1D\u22611D bonding in the Au<span style=\"font-size: 0.6em; background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align);\">22<\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); background-color: var(--background);\">\u00a0(dppp) cluster\u2077, and, analog to the classic Ni(CO)<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 0.6em; background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align);\">4<\/span><span style=\"background-color: var(--background); color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">\u00a018-electron organometallic compound\u2078.<\/span><\/p><p>In addition, the three-dimensional aggregation of superatoms reveals the possibility of extending the superatom approach to higher-order superatom structures,\u2079 enabling further exploration of larger clusters.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60f8a0a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"60f8a0a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Figure 1.
