Abstract
Reduction and ligand elimination result in reversible transformation of the μ3‐alkylidyne complex 1 into the 17‐electron species 2⊙⊖. This was confirmed by cyclic voltammetry and multisweep experiments with 1 as well as by trapping of the released phosphane ligand. The further reduction to 22⊖ is also reversible. The radical anion 2⊙⊖, which is an essential 17‐electron intermediate for the ETC ligand exchange, is the first such species to be unequivocally detected. equation image
