Abstract

A method for synthesizing triangular dithiolene‐bridged trinuclear cluster complexes [{LM(S~2~C~6~H~4~)}Ru~2~(CO)~4~(S~2~C~6~H~4~)] [M = Rh, L = (η^5^‐C~5~Me~5~); M = Ir, L = (η^5^‐C~5~Me~5~); M = Ru, L = (η^6^‐C~6~Me~6~)] by complete reconstruction of the metal framework was developed. The complexes thus obtained have 50 electrons around the metal atoms, indicating 3c4e^–^ bonds; their molecular structures were determined by X‐ray diffraction analyses and theoretical calculations.
