iron complexes in two oxidation states. The variable
coordination modes of the ligand rendered these complexes to
exhibit unique bonding to iron, leading to the interesting
chemical behaviors. Remarkably, both complexes
3 and 4
enabled the catalytic silylation of dinitrogen in the presence of
Me3SiCl and KC8 in n-hexane under 1 atm of nitrogen at room
temperature, giving ca 47 equivalents of N(SiMe3)3 per iron
atom, demonstrating the potentials and unique properties of
silylene ligands in catalysis that can be widely explored. We are
currently investigating the analogous phosphie-imine ligand
for comparison and new catalytic applications of the iron
