Coordinatively unsaturated transition-metal complexes are expected to be inherently reactive and offer an opportunity to study novel transformations such as homogeneous catalysis [1] and the activation of inert substrates such as N2.[2] However, generating low-coordinate environments in these systems can often result in degradation or rearrangement of the ancillary ligand. Only in a few cases can reorganization of the ancillary ligand be reversible, thus generating resting states that are capable of behaving as “masked” low-coordinate fragments. For example, Cummins and co-workers reported a reversible β-hydride elimination pathway leading to a masked threecoordinate MoIII fragment capable of reductively cleaving atmospheric nitrogen.[3] A similar reversible β-hydride elimination has also been documented for the complex [Fe-(PMe3) 5], which has been shown to equilibrate with the corresponding iron (ii) isomer [Fe (H)(η2-CH2PMe2)(PMe3) 3] and free trimethylphosphine.[4] In other amphivalent systems, Fink and co-workers [5] discovered that a dinuclear Pd0 complex containing bridging bidentate phosphine ligands can equilibrate with its mononuclear scaffold. We report herein an unprecedented ligand rearrangement of a pincertype framework PNP(PNP=[N {2-P (CHMe2) 2-4-MeC6H3} 2] À).[6, 7] Reorganization of the PNP pincer ligand from a terminal chelating mode to a bridging mode allows for isolation of [{(μ2-PNP) Co} 2], a complex bearing a Co2N2 diamond-core resting state.[{(μ2-PNP) Co} 2] behaves as a three-coordinate CoI synthon when treated with substrates
