In the loop : Highly strained five‐membered metallacycles, until very recently uncharted territory, are currently receiving much attention in organometallic chemistry. Recent publications are discussed in which the theoretically predicted 1‐metallacyclopenta‐2,3‐dienes A are attained, filling the gap between 1‐metallacyclopent‐3‐enes B and 1‐metallacyclopenta‐2,3,4‐trienes C .
