The first main group dimetal complex with tetragonal‐prismatic coordination is [Bi 2 (O 2 CCF 3 ) 4 ] (structure depicted), which forms a component of a linear one‐dimensional coordination copolymer with hexamethylbenzene molecules. The “paddle wheel” motif well‐known from chromium( II ) acetate and hundreds of other transition metal complexes is thus introduced into the coordination chemistry of main group elements.
