Herein, we introduce a new strategy for alkali metal\u2010mediated catalysis based on metal\u2013ligand cooperation (MLC) driven by dearomatization\u2013aromatization of the ligand. Potassium pincer complexes bearing dearomatized picolyl ligands were synthesized and shown to activate a variety of molecules, including CO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    , CS\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    , phenyl iso(thio)cyanates, ketones, and H\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    , thereby enabling the design of alkali metal catalysis. Notably, a dearomatized potassium complex efficiently catalyzed the hydrogenation of ketones and C\u2500C multiple bonds, reactions that remain challenging in alkali metal catalysis. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidated the electronic structures and bonding characteristics of the obtained complexes and provided mechanistic insight into the transformations. This work establishes a new paradigm in alkali metal chemistry and broadens the scope of MLC for bond activation and catalysis.\n
