Abstract
The easy-to-prepare Nb(V) aryloxide complex [(ArO)2Nb(μ-Cl)Cl2]2 (OAr = 2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-tert-butylphenoxide) is a precursor to both Nb(IV), [trans-(ArO)2NbCl2(THF)2], and Nb(III), K3[(ArO)4Nb2(μ-Cl)3Cl2], molecules. The Nb(IV) and (V) complexes readily split atmospheric nitrogen at room temperature and 1 atmosphere, under reducing conditions, to produce the low-coordinate nitride dimer [(ArO)2Nb(μ-N)]2 and its radical anion, K[(ArO)2Nb(μ-N)]2.Entities:
