An iodine molecule was successfully inserted into the inner cavity of a tiara‐like octanuclear palladium thiolate complex, [Pd(μ‐SCH 2 CO 2 Me) 2 ] 8 . The included iodine molecule coordinated weakly to six palladium atoms in both linear and bent modes, as confirmed by X‐ray crystallography and DFT calculations. The inclusion complex reacted with an excess amount of I 2 to produce a disulfide, which was accompanied by decomposition of the tiara ring.
