Substituent Effects Transition metal bisarene compounds, like metallocenes, form one of the most interesting and intriguing families of organometallics. Mass‐analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) spectra of jet‐cooled [(PhH)(PhR)Cr] complexes (R=Me, Ph) reveal with unprecedented accuracy the effects of methyl and phenyl groups on the electronic structure of bis(benzene)chromium. These “pure” substituent effects provide new insights into the changes in electronic structure caused by the mutual substituent influence in bisarene complexes.
