Three essentially different sites are identified for redox activity in organometallic compounds: The metal, the organometallic (C‐bonded) ligand(s), and potentially noninnocent co‐ligands. Typical reactivity patterns resulting from either of these alternatives will be pointed out by means of representative examples, possibly involving unusual metal oxidation states, carbon‐centered radicals, or ligand redox systems.
