Metal–metal bond formation by a cobaltadithiolene complex was observed for the first time in the reaction of [Co( η 5 ‐C 5 H 5 )(S 2 C 6 H 4 )] with [Mo(CO) 3 (py) 3 ] and BF 3 to give the Co‐Mo‐Co cluster 1 . Cyclic voltammetry reveals that 1 undergoes two one‐electron reduction steps at the Co centers, which is indicative of transmission of the Co−Co electronic interaction through the Mo center.
