Heads or tails? Chemo‐, regio‐, and stereoselective access to cross‐ and linear conjugated poly‐ynene scaffolds from alkynyl‐derived group six metal carbenes is reported. The metal carbenes shown (M=Cr, W; TIPS=triisopropylsilyl) readily undergo low‐temperature, tail‐to‐tail dimerization in the presence of potassium tert ‐butoxide by reaction at either of the C β atoms to provide E ‐polyalkynylethenes.
