We clarify the electrochemical behavior of an organometallic cobalt dithiolene complex (1-NH) with a secondary sulfonyl amide (–NHSO2–) substituted Cp ligand involving proton dynamics. The reductions of 1-NH and its deprotonated derivative (1-N−) are centered on the CpCoS2 moiety. The 2e− reduction of 1-NH quantitatively gives 1-N− with hydrogen generation.
