Abstract

Molybdenum and tungsten bis(dinitrogen) complexes of the formula M(N(2))(2)(PNP)(2) (M = Mo and W) and W(N(2))(2)(dppe)(PNP), supported by diphosphine ligands containing a pendant amine of the formula (CH(2)PR(2))(2)NR' = P(R)N(R')P(R) (R = Et, Ph; R' = Me, Bn), have been prepared by Mg reduction of metal halides under an N(2) atmosphere. The complexes have been characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and cyclic voltammetry. Reactivity of the target Mo and W bis(dinitrogen) compounds with CO results in the formation of dicarbonyl complexes.
