Lewis Acid-Induced Dinitrogen Cleavage in an Anionic Side-on End-on Bound Dinitrogen Diniobium Hydride Complex.

ABSTRACT: The side-on end-on dinitrogen hydride complex [{Na(dme)}₂{(O₃)Nb}₂(μ-η¹:η²-N₂)(μ-H)₂] (3-Na, [O₃]^3- = [(3,5-^tBu₂-2-O-C₆H₂)₃CH]^3-) was observed to undergo facile elimination of H₂ and cleavage of the N-N bond in the presence of 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN), AlMe₃, and ZnMe₂. Treatment of 3-Na with 9-BBN and ZnMe₂ afforded the nitride complex [{K(dme)₂}₂{(O₃)Nb}₂(μ-N)₂] (2-Na). The reaction of 3-Na with AlMe₃ afforded [{Na(dme)}₂{(O₃)AlMe}₂(NbMe₂
