Di‐Re straits : Synchronized motion of protons and electrons, as shown in the scheme, has been observed in a hydrogen‐bonded Re dimer complex. The mixed‐valence states obtained by electrochemical redox reactions are stabilized by proton transfer within the dual hydrogen‐bonding site between 2,2′‐biimidazolate ligands.
