Reaction of the {L Me Fe} fragment with adamantyl azide (AdN 3 ) in the presence of 4‐ tert ‐butylpyridine ( t BuPy) gives an S =3/2 species that has been examined by 1 H NMR, IR, EPR, and Mössbauer spectroscopies. DFT calculations point toward an identification as [L Me FeNAd]. This species abstracts hydrogen atoms from the ligand or external reagents only through its pyridine adduct (see scheme; Ar=2,6‐ i Pr 2 C 6 H 3 ).
