The carbonyl cluster compound [GeRu 6 (CO) 18 HI] is unique in regard to its structure and bonding with a GeRu 6 cluster core, a planar GeRu 4 HI unit, extensive multi‐center bonding, and an aromatic ring current similar to benzene (9‐10 nA T −1 ). The open‐shell cluster core is a Ge‐centered five‐membered Ru 4 (Ru 2 ) ring with CO ligands and an additional H and I atom, each bridging two Ru atoms on opposite sides of the cluster core. The compound is prepared at 130 °C in a weakly‐coordinating ionic liquid.
