六重键

六重键（英語：Sextuple Bond），是指化學中，由6對價電子組成的共价键。

六重键的键级為6，含有六重鍵的化合物仅有双原子分子的 ${\ce {Mo2}}$ 和 ${\ce {W2}}$ ，而它们仅在非常低的温度下存在于气相。

尽管双原子的 ${\ce {Cr2}}$ 和 ${\ce {U2}}$ 也有名义上的6對價電子組成的键，但根据量子化学的计算，它们的有效键级小于5，可能是五重键。^[1]

有很强的证据显示，元素周期表中任何两个元素之间不可能形成键级超过六的化学键^[2]。

气相中的 ${\ce {Mo2}}$ 的观测必须在很低的温度（7K），使用激光蒸发技术，用近红外光谱或紫外光谱进行观测。^[3]

科學界期望可以於 ${\ce {Mo2}}$ 發現到與 ${\ce {Cr2}}$ 觀察結果類似的一對双自由基^[4]。

更高的键级将会反映在更短的键长上，仅有1.94 Å。^{[來源請求]}
