The Zintl anion (Ge2As2)2− represents an isostructural and isoelectronic binary counterpart of yellow arsenic, yet without being studied with the same intensity so far. Upon introducing [(PPh3)AuMe] into the 1,2‐diaminoethane (en) solution of (Ge2As2)2−, the heterometallic cluster anion [Au6(Ge3As)(Ge2As2)3]3− is obtained as its salt [K(crypt‐222)]3[Au6(Ge3As)(Ge2As2)3]⋅en⋅2 tol (1). The anion represents a rare example of a superpolyhedral Zintl cluster, and it comprises the largest number of Au atoms relative to main group (semi)metal atoms in such clusters. The overall supertetrahedral structure is based on a (non‐bonding) octahedron of six Au atoms that is face‐capped by four (GexAs4−x)x− (x=2, 3) units. The Au atoms bind to four main group atoms in a rectangular manner, and this way hold the four units together to form this unprecedented architecture. The presence of one (Ge3As)3− unit besides three (Ge2As2)2− units as a consequence of an exchange reaction in solution was verified by detailed quantum chemical (DFT) calculations, which ruled out all other compositions besides [Au6(Ge3As)(Ge2As2)3]3−. Reactions of the heavier homologues (Tt2Pn2)2− (Tt=Sn, Pb; Pn=Sb, Bi) did not yield clusters corresponding to that in 1, but dimers of ternary nine‐vertex clusters, {[AuTt5Pn3]2}4− (in 2–4; Tt/Pn=Sn/Sb, Sn/Bi, Pb/Sb), since the underlying pseudo‐tetrahedral units comprising heavier atoms do not tend to undergo the said exchange reactions as readily as (Ge2As2)2−, according to the DFT calculations. The supertetrahedral cluster [Au6(Ge3As)(Ge2As2)3]3− is obtained from [(PPh3)AuMe] and the binary Zintl anion (Ge2As2)2−, which readily undergoes an in situ atom exchange in solution to form (GeAs3)− and (Ge3As)3−. The latter is required to form the product, which comprises the largest number of Au atoms relative to main group (semi)metal atoms in such clusters.
