Meet me at the symmetry gates : A supramolecular approach using chlorides as structure‐directing ligands gives high‐nuclearity, mixed‐valent Mn coordination clusters with {Mn II Mn III 12 }, {Mn II 3 Mn III 10 }, and {Mn II 3 Mn III 11 } core structures that have supramolecular chirality. The {Mn II Mn III 12 } complex (see structure: Mn blue, Cl green, O red) is the first structurally characterized Mn‐based Keplerate and has one of the highest symmetries reported for a high‐nuclearity Mn coordination cluster.
