Three new isostructural transition‐metal thioantimonates [ M (dien) 2 ]{Sb 18 S 30 [ M (dien)] 2 } [ M = Mn ( 1 ), Fe ( 2 ), Co ( 3 )] were prepared under solvothermal conditions in the presence of diethylenetriamine (dien). The compounds were characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and UV/Vis reflectance spectroscopy. The materials crystallize in the space group P 1 and adopt a structure, in which complex Sb 18 S 30 6– chains are cross‐linked into layers through transition‐metal‐dimer bridges, [ M 2 S 2 ], directly bonded to the thioantimonate layers. The layers contain pores, those in successive layers being aligned to generate a channel structure. Additional [ M (dien) 2 ] 2+ cations are located within these channels in the interlayer space.
