The nature of the transition‐metal ion M ⊕ determines which of the steps (CH activation or loss of olefin) will be rate‐determining in the regiospecific formation of ethylene from 4‐octyne: with M ⊕ = Cr ⊕ or Cu ⊕ it is CH activation, but with M ⊕ = Fe ⊕ it is the loss of ethylene. Both steps are subject to isotope effects, with M ⊕ = Cr ⊕ or Ni ⊕ .
