Multimetallic complexes having π‐conjugated dithiolate ligands have recently received attention because of their unique solid‐state properties. Reported herein are efficient and versatile routes for the synthesis of structurally well‐defined multimetallic gold–bis(dithiolene) complexes. A dichlorogold(III) complex having a benzene‐1,2‐dithiolate ligand was prepared as a key terminal unit. A one‐dimensional dimetallic gold complex was synthesized in good yield by using benzene‐1,2,4,5‐tetrathiolate as a bridging ligand. Furthermore, by using benzenehexathiolate as a bridging ligand, this strategy was applied to the synthesis of a two‐dimensional trimetallic complex with a starburst structure. The solid‐state structures of the anionic complexes were unambiguously confirmed by X‐ray diffraction analyses.
