Direct linkage of complex fragments of the classical Werner‐type with metal carbonyl complex fragments characterizes a novel type of open‐shell transition metal cluster, for which the term xenophilic has been proposed. These polynuclear complexes may display new metal frameworks with nonbridged metal – metal bonds; the structure of such a fragment ([Mn 7 (thf) 6 (CO) 12 ] − ) is depicted on the right.
