Transition Metal/Lanthanide-Nitrogen Double Bonds Co-stabilized in a Carbon Cage.

ABSTRACT: Metal-nitrogen double bonds have been commonly reported for conventional metal complexes, but the coexistence of both transition metal-nitrogen and lanthanide-nitrogen double bonds bridged by nitrogen within one compound has never been reported. Herein, by encapsulating a ternary transition metal-lanthanide heteronuclear dimetallic nitride into a C₈₄ fullerene cage, transition metal-nitrogen and lanthanide-nitrogen double bonds are costabilized simultaneously within the as-formed clusterfullerene TiCeN@C₁(12)-C₈₄, which is a representative heteronuclear dimetallic nitride clusterfullerene. Its molecular structure was unambiguously determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing a slightly bent μ₂-bridged nitride cluster with short Ti-N
