Abstract The synthesis and structure of a homobimetallic chromium complex is reported. The ligand used to stabilise the quintuply bonded metals is a sterically fine‐tuned guanidinate. A chromium–chromium bond length of 1.7293(12) Å was observed. It is the shortest metal–metal distance reported for a stable compound yet.
