We report on an effective cluster expansion of CuBr‐linked aggregates by the increase of the steric bulk of the Cp R ligand in the pentatopic molecules [Cp R Fe(η 5 ‐P 5 )]. Using [Cp BIG Fe(η 5 ‐P 5 )] (Cp BIG =C 5 (4‐ n BuC 6 H 4 ) 5 ), the novel multishell aggregate [{Cp BIG Fe(η 5:2:1:1:1:1:1 ‐P 5 )} 12 (CuBr) 92 ] is obtained. It shows topological analogy to the theoretically predicted I‐C 140 fullerene molecule. The spherical cluster was comprehensively characterized by various methods in solution and in the solid state.
