The tungsten iodide cluster W 4 I 10 is obtained by thermal conversion of W 4 I 13 . The crystal structure of W 4 I 10 was solved and refined by means of powder X‐ray diffraction techniques. The structure is based on a tetrahedral tungsten cluster core, two face capping, five edge‐bridging, and four apical iodido ligands of which two have bridging functionalities with adjacent clusters. Cluster chains in the structure are arranged following the motive of a kinked chain.
