Understanding the interaction of N2 with iron is relevant to the iron catalyst used in the Haber process and to possible roles of the FeMoco active site of nitrogenase. The work reported here uses syn
The activation of dinitrogen by titanium sandwich complexes of the general form (η5-C5Me4R)2Ti (R = CHMe2, CMe3, SiMe3) has been systematically investigated. Low-temperature, in situ, solution infrare
A dicobalt complex catalyzes N2 silylation with Me3SiCl and KC8 under 1 atm N2 at ambient temperature. Tris(trimethylsilyl)amine is formed with an initial turnover rate of 1 N(TMS)3/min, ultimately
DyI2 reacts with 2 equiv of KOAr (OAr = OC6H3(CMe3)2-2,6) under nitrogen to form not only the (N2)2− complex, [(ArO)2(THF)2Dy]2(μ-η2:η2-N2), 1, but also complexes of similar formula with an added pota
