The Use of (Me3Si)2NN(SiMe3)2 as a Reagent for the Synthesis of μ-Dinitrogen Complexes or as a Homogeneous One-electron Reducing Agent

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c39840000176

The reaction of NbCl5 with (Me3Si)2NN(SiMe3)2, in the presence of tetrahydrofuran (thf) gives high yields (ca. 80percent) of <2N2> (A); (A), or its tantalum analogue, reacts with Me3SiS2CNEt2 to give a high yield of the dinitrogen complexes with exclusively sulphur co-ligands <2N2> (M = Nb or Ta), and reaction of (L = MeCN or thf) with (Me3Si)2NN(SiMe3)2 gives in high yield, together with N2.
