The reaction of stibinidene and bismuthinidene ArM [where Ar=C 6 H 3 ‐2,6‐(CH=N t Bu) 2 ; M=Sb ( 1 ), Bi ( 2 )] with transition metal (TM) carbonyls Co 2 (CO) 8 and Mn 2 (CO) 10 produced unprecedented ionic complexes [(ArM) 2 Co(CO) 3 ] + [Co(CO) 4 ] − and [(ArM) 2 Mn(CO) 4 ] + [Mn(CO) 5 ] − [where M=Sb ( 3 , 5 ), Bi ( 4 , 6 )]. The pnictinidenes 1 and 2 behaved as two‐electron donors in this set of compounds. Besides the M→TM bonds, the topological analysis also revealed a number of secondary interactions contributing to the stabilization of cationic parts of titled complexes.
