Stack by stack and brick by brick : A series of heterobimetallic sandwich cations were generated, starting from the mono‐arene coordinated Group 13 complex cations of gallium and indium. The obtained Group 13/14 metallocene cations contain apical free Group 13 elements in an unusual coordination environment. By tuning the reaction conditions, a heterobimetallic main‐group sandwich coordination polymer containing indium and tin was accessed. The observed polymeric chain motif was further transferred to related complexes containing ferrocene as bridging ligand. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. Schorpp and I. Krossing on page 14109.
