Abstract

A series of trinuclear and dinuclear Cr(I)-N₂ complexes bearing cyclopentadienyl-phosphine ligands were synthesized and characterized. Further reduction of the Cr(I)-N₂ complexes generated anionic Cr(0)-N₂ complexes, which could react with Me₃SiCl to afford the first chromium hydrazido complex from N₂ functionalization. These complexes were found to be effective catalysts for the transformation of N₂ into N(SiMe₃)₃.
