2,5‐Diphenyl‐3,4‐bis(2‐pyridyl)cyclopenta‐2,4‐dien‐1‐one ( 1 ), a close relative of tetraphenylcyclopentadienone, is a new ligand platform for use in redox switches and sensors. Compound 1 acts as a molecular electrochemical sensor towards a range of divalent metal ions and exhibits favourable two‐wave behaviour. It forms chelates of the type [( 1 )MX 2 ], whose stability is enhanced by five orders of magnitude upon one‐electron reduction. The bite angle of 1 is close to 90° in these complexes. The attachment of the 14‐valence‐electron Cp*Co fragment to the cyclopentadienone π system reduces the bite angle and thus modulates the binding characteristics of 1 .
