Incorporation of the triad of redox activity, hemilability, and proton responsivity into a single ligand scaffold is reported. Due to this triad, the complexes Fe(<sup>Pyrr</sup>PDI)(CO)<sub>2</sub> (3) and Fe(<sup>Mor</sup>PDI)(CO)<sub>2</sub> (4) display 40-fold enhancements in the initial rate of NO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> reduction, with respect to Fe(<sup>MeO</sup>PDI)(CO)<sub>2</sub> (7). Utilizing the proper sterics and p K<sub>a</sub> of the pendant base(s) to introduce hemilability into ...[more]
