Oxidation-induced ambiphilicity triggers N–N bond formation and dinitrogen release in octahedral terminal molybdenum(v) nitrido complexes

Abstract

Coupling of octahedral, terminal d1 molybdenum (V) nitrido complexes supported by a dianionic pentadentate ligand via N-N bond formation to give µ-dinitrogen complexes was found to be thermodynamically feasible but...
