Abstract

(t-BuPOCOP)MoI2 (1; t-BuPOCOP = C6H3-1,3-[OP(t-Bu)2]2) has been synthesized from MoI3(THF)3. Upon reduction of 1 with Na/Hg under dinitrogen molecular nitrogen is cleaved to form [(t-BuPOCOP)Mo(I)(N)]−. The origin of the N atom was confirmed using 15N2. Protonation of [(t-BuPOCOP)Mo(I)(N)]− results in the formation of a neutral species in which it is proposed that the proton has added across the Mo–P bond.
