The reactivity of metal‐hydride complexes can be harnessed by the modification of ancillary ligands. With the aim of improving the hydride‐donor ability of the key Mn−H intermediate and reducing steric hindrance, we herein report the rational design of a versatile and efficient NHC‐based NNC‐pincer...
