Aromatic azides and diazides are decomposed by di-iron nonacarbonyl to give primary amines, ureas, bis(tricarbonyliron) complexes, and other products, probably via nitrenes and nitrene-iron complexes, under very mild conditions; the reactions are more complex than uncatalysed pyrolysis of the azides, however.
