Towards a Nitrogen-fixing Cycle: Electrochemical Reduction of a Hydrazido-complex of Molybdenum(IV) under N2 to Yield the Dialkylhydrazine and a Molybdenum(0) Dinitrogen Complex

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c39810001033

Electrochemical reduction of trans-3CH2>)(dppe)2>+, (5) (dppe = Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2) at a Pt electrode in tetrahydrofuran-0.2 M under N2 yields the free organohydrazine and trans-, (1), under CO yields cis- and trans- and N-aminopiperidine, and under Ar yields the reduction product trans-II-(cyclo-3CH2>)(dppe)2>; the product (1) is readily converted into (5), thus a cycle for the fixation of N2 as an organohydrazine is plausible.
