Ringing the changes : Complexes of azamacrocycles were used for the template synthesis of extraordinary new cyclic and acyclic chromium–nickel chains, which include the “S”‐shaped cluster shown (see picture) obtained when a cyclen‐based template is used. The results suggest a new method for making sophisticated polymetallic architectures.
