The synthesis of two novel tetrakis(salicylaldehydes) based on a rigid tetraphenylmethane core is presented. These salicylaldehydes were used as precursors for the construction of three‐dimensional multimetallic salphens, as exemplified by the synthesis of rigid and shape‐persistent tetranuclearzinc–, nickel– and palladium–salphens with defined geometries and distances between the metal sites. The UV/Vis measurements of the tetranuclear metal complexes are presented.
