title: Geometric and redox flexibility of pyridine as a redox-active ligand that can reversibly accept one or two electrons.
abstract: A low-coordinate iron(I) species can reversibly reduce pyridine, either by one electron to give a new C-C bond, or by two electrons to give a pyridine-derived bridge with an unprecedented μ-η(1):η(3) binding mode.
