Molecular diamagnetism and multicentered X鈥揗o鈥揗o and Mo鈥揗o鈥揗o interactions in hexanuclear cluster complexes [Mo6X8]n- (X = S, Se, and Te; n = 0 and 4) are studied using calculations of nuclear independent chemical shifts (NICS) and the methods 鈥渁toms in molecules鈥?and electron localization function. It is shown that [Mo6X8]4- complexes are characterized by large negative NICSs related to the aromaticity of Mo鈥揗o bondings and to diatropic currents in Mo6 metallic core of the cuboctahedral clusters. The calculated currents can participate in the mechanism of nucleation of the vortex lattice of macroscopic Abrikosov鈥檚 electronic whirls responsible for the magnetic high-铿乪ld stability of the superconducting currents in type II superconductors.
