Graphical Abstract
High on nitride: Discrete iron nitride complexes stabilized by N-anchored tris(carbene) ligands have been synthesized (see picture). These high-valent FeIV![[TRIPLE BOND]](http://onlinelibrarystatic.wiley.com/undisplayable_characters/00f8fd.gif)
N complexes are stable at room temperature, which allows their full spectroscopic and—for the first time—crystallographic characterization.
