The controlled cleavage of coordination polymers consisting of well‐defined large units can be employed for the rational synthesis of high nuclearity clusters. This synthetic concept is demonstrated by the conversion (schematically shown) of a three‐dimensional Zn II coordination polymer containing repeating hexameric units with a “twin‐anchor” arrangement of the metal ions into the corresponding hexanuclear cluster by reaction with a donor solvent.
