Three's company : Iron(I) hydride complexes are presented (see picture; N blue, O red) that are the first monomeric open‐shell hydride complexes to be crystallographically verified as being three‐coordinate at the metal. Backbonding into diketiminate π* orbitals stabilizes the low oxidation state. The FeH bonding has been analyzed using electron‐nuclear double resonance (ENDOR).
