Abstract
Triangular tritungsten compounds with one or two face‐bridging chalcogenides are well known. Mild main group metal reductants such as mercury, bismuth, antimony, gallium, and Ga

(XCl, Br) at considerably lower temperatures than those used in traditional syntheses of group 5 and 6 metal cluster halides. This chapter talks about the preparation of a monocapped, eight‐electron binary tungsten chloride (W
