Metal-carbon σ bonds mark the basis of organometallic chemistry, but the formation of multiple such bonds between single organic and metal entities remains a challenge. Here, the authors report a one-pot aromaticity-driven method to construct osmium-based multidentate complexes containing three metal-carbon σ bonds from multiyn chains.
