The Front Cover shows the structure of an octanuclear heterobridged molecular wheel featuring six‐coordinate ruthenium ions, terminal CO ligands, and thiolate/iodide mixed bridging ligands. This wheel represents one of the crystallographically characterized {Ru n (μ‐SR) n (μ‐X) n }(CO) 2n (X=Cl, Br, n=6; X=I, n=8) wheels composed of edge‐shared RuC 2 S 2 X 2 (X=halide) octahedra. The present work demonstrates the construction of hexa‐ and octanuclear wheels which feature fused M n (μ‐SR) n /M n (μ‐X) n (n=6, 8) metallamacrocycles as well as six‐coordinate metal molecular wheels with their metal ions linked by mixed S/X‐donor ligands.
