Photochemical activation of [(PNN H )Rh(N 3 )] (PNN H =6‐di‐( tert ‐butyl)phosphinomethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine) complex 2 produced the paramagnetic (S=1/2), [(PNN)RhN . ‐Rh(PNN)] complex 3 (PNN − =methylene‐deprotonated PNN H ), which could be crystallographically characterized. Spectroscopic investigation of 3 indicates a predominant nitridyl radical ( . N 2− ) character, which was confirmed computationally. Complex 3 reacts selectively with CO, producing two equivalents of [(PNN)Rh I (CO)] complex 4 , presumably by nitridyl radical N,N‐coupling.
