Understanding the complex : The decomposition reaction of a water‐soluble complex (see scheme; 1 ) in H 2 O confirms the existence of a unique bidentate pyridinol cofactor in [Fe]‐hydrogenase. This unique moiety is confirmed for the first time by the decomposition of a well‐defined model complex containing a pyridinyl methyl acyl ligand.
