A near trigonal antiprism with metal–metal distances in the nanometer regime is formed by the six metal ions in the crystalline, homochiral [Ga 6 (L 2 ) 6 ] (see structure). This metal–ligand “cylinder” is based on a threefold symmetric, β ‐diketone ligand, and represents a new geometry for metal–ligand clusters.
