Involvement of the NHC carbon in redox-active bis(amidinato) N-heterocyclic carbene iron complexes has been observed for several stoichiometric reactions.  The reversibility of these reactions and the importance with respect to the redox activity of the NHC complexes will be discussed.  Implication for these reactions for catalysis will also be addressed.
