Not all down‐to‐Earth : A stable aluminacyclopropene LAl(η 2 ‐C 2 H 2 ) 1 was isolated from the reaction of LAl with C 2 H 2 . Further reaction of 1 with C 2 H 2 results in terminal CCH and CHCH 2 groups at the Al center. The end‐on insertion of an azide into one AlC bond in 1 leads to the first aluminaazacyclobutene 2 . These reactions can be considered prebiotic, as Al I species and acetylene are found in outer space.
