Cobalt complexes bearing an anionic PNP‐type pincer ligand are effective catalysts for the reduction of molecular dinitrogen into ammonia under mild reaction conditions, as shown by K. Yoshizawa, Y. Nishibayashi, and co‐workers in their Communication on page 14291 ff. These findings provide valuable insight for the development of nitrogen fixation systems based on transition‐metal dinitrogen complexes as catalysts.
