“…The conversion of mononuclear (PBD)IrN to Ir–NH 2 (PBD = 2,6-(2,6- i Pr 2 C 6 H 3 –NCMe) 2 C 5 H 3 N) was achieved via hydrogenation of the corresponding nitride species with dihydrogen , and, more recently, via hydrostannylation followed by hydrolysis . Additionally, the transient nitride species NRu 2 (D(3,5-Cl 2 )PhF) 3 , where (D(3,5-Cl 2 )PhF = N , N ′-bis(3,5-dichlorophenyl)formamidinate), , ( iPr PDI)CoN ( iPr PDI = 2,6-(ArNCPh) 2 C 5 H 3 N; i Pr = 2,6- i Pr 2 C 6 H 3 ), and (C 5 Me 5 ) 2 UN(N(SiMe 3 ) 2 ) have been implicated in the formation of metal–amido via intramolecular C–H activation.…”
