An orbitally adapted push-pull template for N₂ activation and reduction to diazene-diide.

ABSTRACT: A Lewis superacidic bis(borane) C₆F₄{B(C₆F₅)₂}₂ was reacted with tungsten N₂-complexes [W(N₂)₂(R₂PCH₂CH₂PR₂)₂] (R = Ph or Et), affording zwitterionic boryldiazenido W(ii) complexes trans-[W(L)(R₂PCH₂CH₂PR₂)₂(N₂{B(C₆F₅)₂(C₆F₄B(C₆F₅)₃})] (L = ø, N₂ or THF). These compounds feature only one N-B linkage of the covalent type, as a result of intramolecular boron-to-boron C₆F₅ transfer. Complex trans-[W(THF)(Et₂PCH₂CH₂
