A collaborative effort between scientists has led to the isolation of a complex with two iodine(I)-silver(I) coordination bonds, opening up possibilities for other complexes with unconventional bonding. Metal–metal bonds between metal cations are common, ranging from the manganese–manganese single bond in Mn2(CO)10 to the quadruple rhenium–rhenium bond in Re2Cl82-. Similar bonds between non-metal and metal cations are much rarer, often …
