The topology of interlinked metallacycles can be controlled through their substitution pattern. In their Communication on page 5882 ff., F. E. Hahn, G.‐X. Lin, and co‐workers describe the synthesis of metalla[2]catenanes from dinuclear iridium complexes and anthracene‐bridged dipyridyl ligands. Noncovalent π–π‐stacking interactions play a crucial role in the formation of these catenanes.
