Making Ns meet: Triphenylphosphinazine N2(PPh3) 2 is a donor-acceptor complex between nitrogen in the highly excited 1Γg state and two anti-periplanar coordinated phosphine ligands (see structure). Although the dissociation into N 2+2 PPh3 is calculated to be exergonic by 75 kcal mol -1, the compound is kinetically very stable as a result of the very large Lewis acidity of N2 in the excited 1Γ g state.
