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

ConspectusThe activation and functionalization of N to form nitrogen-element bonds have long posed challenges to industrial, biological, and synthetic chemists. The first transition-metal dinitrogen complex prepared by Allen and Senoff in 1965 provoked researchers to explore homogeneous N fixation. Despite intensive research in the last six decades, efficient and quantitative conversion of N to diazenido and hydrazido species remains problematic.

This report describes the synthesis of a pseudo-tetrahedral chromium alkyne complex supported by a bidentate phosphinimide ligand and its reactivity with an azobenzene derivative. Characterization of the former by structural and computational methods reveals an unprecedented extent of alkyne activation by a formal chromium(II) center, suggesting that this complex is best described as a chromium(IV)-metallocyclopropene. Exposure of this compound to 4,4'-difluoroazobenzene results in the formation of a chromium(VI) diimido complex, which constitutes a rare 4-electron oxidative addition of an N=N double bond.

Isolation of key intermediate complexes in dinitrogen functionalization is crucial for elucidating the mechanistic details and further investigation. Herein, the synthesis and characterization of (μ-η:η-N)(η-N)-Cr(I) and (η-N)-Cr(0) complexes supported by Cp* (Cp* = CMe) and NHC ligands were reported. Further functionalization of Cr(0)-N complex with silyl halides delivered the key intermediates in the alternating pathway, the chromium diazenido complex and the chromium side-on η-hydrazido complex .
