Late and unexpected : The first strained metallocenophanes with a single late transition‐metal atom in the bridge have been prepared (see scheme). The nickel‐ and platinum‐bridged complexes are the first [1]ferrocenophanes where the bridging atom has a distorted square‐planar geometry, and the compounds are substantially more tilted and electron‐rich than early transition‐metal analogues.
