The wirelike and switching behavior, as well as the oxidation chemistry, of prepared dinuclear acetylide‐type complexes that are bridged by a photochromic dithienylethene unit (DTE) have been investigated in the Full Paper by M. Akita et al. on page 4762 ff. The photochemical, ring‐opening/closing cycle of the DTE moiety can switch the communication between the two metal centers in the iron complex, and the ruthenium complex exhibits dual photo‐ and electrochromism.
