Abstract

Iron complexes containing hydrazido(1−) and diazene ligands were investigated as potential intermediates in the reduction of N2 to NH3. Generation of cis-[Fe(DMeOPrPE)2(η2-N2H3)]+ and cis-Fe(DMeOPrPE)2(η2-N2H2) (DMeOPrPE = 1,2-bis(dimethoxypropylphosphino)ethane) was achieved by addition of base to cis-[Fe(DMeOPrPE)2(N2H4)]2+. The hydrazine, hydrazido(1−), and diazene complexes can be interconverted by protonation/deprotonation reactions.
