Illuminating quadruple bonds : The polymeric materials [M 2 (O 2 CC 6 H 2 ‐2,4,6‐Me 3 ) 2 (O 2 C‐(Thp) n ‐CO 2 )] n (M=Mo or W (green); Thp=thiophene (S atoms yellow); DMSO molecules also shown) incorporate metal–metal quadruple bonds and form thin films from THF solutions. These films show electroluminescence when deposited on an indium–tin oxide glass‐coated plate followed by vapor deposition of aluminum or calcium.
