Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>A simple catalytic method involving all‐metal aromatic frameworks as precatalysts ensures an efficient route to (<italic>Z</italic>)‐alkenes. Aromatic triangular palladium clusters were used to reduce internal alkynes without any trace of the formation of alkane side products. These trinuclear complexes provide a catalytic system that parallels the activity and selectivity of their best mononuclear peers, and the catalyst likely operates through complementary mechanisms.</p> </abstract>
