M–M bonds meet two‐coordination : Systems with metal–metal bonds are of great interest in inorganic chemistry. A recent report describes the first example of a metal–metal bond to a two‐coordinate transition‐metal center (see structure, Fe orange, O red, C gray). The metal–metal bond in this “xenophilic complex” is best described as a dative bond.
