The complex cations [(C5Me5)M(abpy)Cl]+, M = Rh or Ir, abpy = 2,2''''''''azobispyridine, are reduced to the coordinatively unsaturated compounds [(C5Me5)M(abpy)] via EPR- and UV/VIS-spectroelectrochemically detectable radical intermediates [(C5Me5)MIII(abpy-I)Cl];. Fast-scan cyclic voltammetry allowed us to establish the electrochemical potentials. This stepwise mechanism differs from the two-electron processes observed for analogous systems [(C5Me5)M(N
