In this Perspective, we highlight the non-innocent behaviour of the bridging ligand in organometallic polynuclear metallic complexes displaying metal-carbon σ bonds between the metallic units and a strongly coupled conjugated carbon-rich bridging ligand. With the help of representative experimental and theoretical studies on polymetallic systems, but also on monometallic complexes, we point out...
