A series of defined iron–hydrogen complexes was prepared in a straightforward one‐pot approach. The structure and electronic properties of such complexes were investigated by means of quantum‐chemical analysis. These new complexes were then applied in the dehydrogenative silylation of methanol. The complex (dppp)(CO)(NO)FeH showed a remarkable activity with a TOF of more than 600 000 h −1 of pure hydrogen gas within seconds.
