A simple synthetic method allows the one‐pot assembly of C 3 ‐symmetric, 44‐core‐valence‐electron, triangular Pd or Pt clusters and their heterobimetallic mixed Pd/Pt analogues. These mixed metal complexes are the first examples of stable triangular all‐metal heteroaromatics. In contrast to traditional heteroaromatic molecules formed combining main‐group elements, they actually retain structural and electronic features of their homonuclear analogues.
