To a CH 2 Ligand! is the answer to the question posed in the title—an indirect confirmation of the concept already proposed by Fischer and Tropsch regarding the growth step of the synthesis bearing their names. The reaction was found to take place in the Os complex 1 , from which an H ⊖ ion can be split off. The ethene complex 3 is formed from the presumed intermediate 2 by CH 3 ‐migration and β‐H shift.
