Abstract
Quintuple bonds between chromium atoms are the first choice for looking at how short a metal–metal bond can be. In their Full Paper on page 9825 ff., L. Gagliardi, R. Kempe et al. describe a rational concept of shortening quintuple bonds based on ligand design. A Cr–Cr distance of 1.7056(12) Å is the value finally reached. Most importantly, the potential limitations of the shortening concept and the formation of other coordination isomers or over-reduction are described.
