The history and theory of one‐ and three‐electron bonds are presented and discussed. It is shown that the dependence of the odd‐electron bond energy on the difference in ionization potentials of the bonding partners must be corrected to include the ion‐pairing energy for neutral odd‐electron bonded complexes.
