Electrons in chains : A novel metallic chain made up of six iridium atoms (see picture) with an average oxidation state of +1.33 has been found in the complex HH,HT,HH‐[Ir 6 (μ‐OPy) 6 (I) 2 (CO) 12 ] (Opy=2‐pyridonate, H=head, T=tail). This complex provides a new link in the electronic sequence connecting dinuclear Ir I and Ir II complexes.
