Reaction of [(η 5 ‐Cp*)(acac‐ O ,O′)Co] ( 1 ) with potassium metal in pyridine results in reductive ligand transfer of the acac ligand to potassium and formation of a mixture of two organocobalt complexes which can be separated from each other by chromatography. Besides a mononuclear complex containing no pyridine unit the trinuclear cobalt cluster [{(η 5 ‐Cp*)‐Co} 3 ‐μ‐pyridine] ( 3 ) is formed in a cyclometalation reaction in 57% yield. The pyridine ligand in 3 is located on one edge of the Co 3 core according to the spectroscopic data and a preliminary X‐ray crystal structure analysis.
