Looking into the increasing requirement for sustainable and environmentally sound chemical processes, employing nonprecious metals, specifically the earth‐abundant ones, is an attractive choice to construct CN bond by CH activation strategy involving the inner‐ or outer‐sphere mechanism. The article described Co(II)–porphyrins and cyclopentadienyl‐ligand‐based catalysts as the new class of effective catalysts for the amination or amidation of C(sp
