Piano‐stool‐shaped platinum group metal compounds, stable in the solid state and in solution, which are based on 2‐(5‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐yl)pyridine (L) with the formulas [(η6‐arene)Ru(L)Cl]PF6 {arene = C6H6 (1), p‐cymene (2), and C6Me6, (3)}, [(η6‐C5Me5)M(L)Cl]PF6 {M = Rh (4), Ir (5)}, and [(η5‐C5H5)Ru(PPh3)(L)]PF6 (6), [(η5‐C5H5)Os(PPh3)(L)]PF6 (7), [(η5‐C5Me5)Ru(PPh3)(L)]PF6 (8), and [(η5‐C9H7)Ru(PPh3)(L)]PF6 (9) were prepared by a general method and characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The molecular structures of compounds 4 and 5 were established by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. In each compound the metal is connected to N1 and N11 in a k2 manner.
