Multiple CH bond activations give molecular lanthanoid–transition‐metal clusters from heterobimetallic organometallic complexes. In their Communication on page 7695 ff. F. R. Wagner, R. Kempe, and co‐workers show there is an increase in the delocalization of the metal–metal bonding electrons suggesting a possible transition sequence from the bimetallic complex to the intermetallic phase.
