The triplesalen complex [MnIII6CrIII](ClO4)3 was synthesized and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, UV/Vis/NIR spectroscopy, and DC and AC magnetic susceptibilities. The molecular structure is D3 symmetric, whereas all other salts and solvates of [MnIII6CrIII]3+ are S6 symmetric. The UV/Vis/NIR spectrum of D3 symmetric [MnIII6CrIII]3+ is almost identical to that of S6 symmetric [MnIII6CrIII]3+ demonstrating that the electronic structure is not significantly perturbed by the symmetry variation. The magnetic data of D3 symmetric [MnIII6CrIII]3+ is also similar to those of S6 symmetric [MnIII6CrIII]3+ with antiferromagnetic JMn–Mn exchange coupling. This is in contrast to the ferromagnetic JMn–Mn exchange coupling in the chiral RR[MnIII6CrIII]3+ synthesized with a chiral triplesalen derivative. Due to the chirality, RR[MnIII6CrIII]3+ is also of D3 symmetry. However, its UV/Vis/NIR spectrum differs to those of D3 and S6 symmetric [MnIII6CrIII]3+. This indicates that the electronic and magnetic properties of RR[MnIII6CrIII]3+ are not different to those of [MnIII6CrIII]3+ due to the symmetry variation but due to the specific properties of the two triplesalen ligands.
