The Cover Feature shows the frontier orbitals and electron configurations determining the stability of the N 2 ‐ligated mononuclear and N 2 ‐bridged dinuclear Fe I /Co I complexes, with a background picture of beans ( Rynchosia ) containing nitrogen atoms derived from leguminous bacteria. The calculated Gibbs free energies of the N 2 ‐binding and N 2 ‐bridge formation reactions show that the N 2 ‐bridged FeI‐dinuclear complex is more favorable than the N 2 ‐ligating Fe I ‐mononuclear complex in contrast to the Co I ‐mononuclear complexes.
