N 2 coordination to the nitrogenase Fe 7 MoS 9 cofactor is considered a key step of biological N 2 fixation, however, modeling this step with metal–sulfur complex fragments under mild conditions has remained a long‐standing challenge. The title complex 2 represents a first example, forming from N 2 and the precursor CH 3 CN complex 1 under standard conditions [Eq. (1)].
