Although their existence was suggested eight years ago , triple‐decker complexes with a central metallabenzene have not been synthesized before. The ruthenabenzene‐bridged complex 1 appears to be the first well‐characterized example of a complex of this type with a bridging metallabenzene. The unusual central ligand was formed from coordinated norbornadiene via vinylcyclopentadiene.
