Star GaZr : The X‐ray structure of 1 (see picture; Ga pink, Zr blue, Cl green, C gold) illustrates a new metal–metal bonding motif between gallium and zirconium atoms: a gallium atom bonded to two zirconium atoms. Spectroscopic and computational data support the presence of a bridging Zr‐H‐Zr hydride in 1 that was undetected by single‐crystal X‐ray analysis.
