The MoMo distance shrinks from 3.555 to 2.885 Å on deprotonation of the OH‐bridge in 1 . This, as also the drastic changes in the UV/VIS spectrum and in the magnetic properties, clearly indicates a transition from a classical Werner complex to a complex with metal–metal bonding. MO considerations suggest that the Mo‐‐Mo bond in deprotonated 1 is an intramolecularly formed triple bond. The deprotonation of 1 is a completely reversible reaction.
