AbstractTreatment of cyclo‐(EtAsS)n with [RuCl2(Ph3P)3] and [Re‐Br(CO)5] affords the respective complexes [RuCl2{cyclo‐(EtAsS)4}(Ph3P)] (1) and [{Re(CO)3}2{μ‐(Et4As4S5)}] (2). Whereas 1 contains a η3 As coordinated intact cyclotetramer (EtAsS)4, ring cleavage leads to the chain anion Et4As4S52−, stabilised as a bridging hexadentate ligand in 2. Reaction of MCl3 with cyclo‐(EtAsS)n in toluene in a Carius tube enables the metal‐mediated temperature controlled assembly of the novel 16‐ and 14‐membered macrocyclic hexadentate As–S ligands in (M{cyclo‐(Et6As8S10)}] (3: M = Os; 4: M = Ru) and [Ru{cyclo‐(Et4As6S10)}] (5). The structures of the products were established by X‐ray crystallography.
