Mono‐ and binuclear Rh and Ir complexes are easily obtained by reaction of sapphyrins with [{RhCl(CO) 2 } 2 ] and/or [IrCl(CO) 2 (py)]. In these binuclear complexes (e.g., 1 ), the two [M(CO) 2 ] fragments are no different sides of the ruffled 22 π‐electron ligands. Complex 1 catayzes the hydrogenation of cyclohexenes.
