Heterothiometallic clusters with a planar open skeleton (see Figure) show a better optical limiting performance than C 60 towards picosecond laser pulses and are promising optical‐power limiting materials. The influence of the cluster skeletons and the constitutent elements in the clusters on the optical‐power limiting properties as well as the influence of the optical nonlinearities upon irradiation with pico‐ and nanosecond pulsed lasers are discussed.
