Abstract The cartwheel complexes A are novel, nano‐sized hexametallic species available from persubstituted benzenes C 6 [3,5‐(CH 2 Y) 2 C 6 H 3 ] (Y=NMe 2 , P(O)Ph 2 , PPh 2 , SPh). The molecular structure of A (Y=SPh, ML n =PdCl) shows C 3 symmetry with adjacent radial Pd−Pd separations of 7.339(2) and 8.006(2) Å and a diametrically opposed Pd−Pd separation of 15.340(2) Å. Because of their size hexametallic species such as A are potential homogeneous catalysts in organic reactions which can be recovered by nanomembrane filtration techniques.
