Mixed‐metal mesocates [M 2 Pd 3 Br 6 L 6 ] 4− (M=Ti IV , Sn IV ; L=4‐diphenylphosphanyl‐catecholate) have been synthesized, in which the two incommensurate symmetry elements generated by the different metal ions are linked by a rigid, bifunctional ligand to generate a C 3h ‐symmetrical cluster (see picture).
