Despite having the same total number of electrons the manganese complex 1 has a different structure than the heteronuclear gold cluster 2 . The MnAu 6 cluster 1 is obtained from the photolysis of a mixture of [Ph 3 PAuMn(CO) 5 ], [Ph 3 PAuNCO], and [Ph 3 PAuN 3 ] in THF. With regard to structure and bonding, 1 is a remarkable analogue of the cyclopentadienyl complex [CpMn(CO) 3 ]. The cluster frameworks of 1 and 2 are depicted right as Mn‐ and V‐centered icosahedral fragments.
