The solid state reaction of WCl 6 with copper powder and a reactive source of carbon leads to a new trigonal prismatic carbon‐centered tungsten cluster containing copper ions. Cu[W 6 CCl 18 ] dissolves in organic solvents (dimethylsulfoxide, acetone), resulting in two air stable products Cu(C 2 H 6 OS) 6 [W 6 CCl 18 ] and Cu(C 2 H 6 OS) 4 [W 6 CCl 18 ] 2 . Both of them contain carbon‐centered trigonal prismatic tungsten clusters [W 6 CCl 18 ] n – ( n = 1, 2) and Jahn‐Teller distorted octahedral copper(II) ions. Crystal structures of all compounds were investigated by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The presence of carbon as an interstitial atom in the cluster is confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
