A scandium hydridoborate complex supported by the dianionic pentadentate ligand B<sub>2</sub>Pz<sub>4</sub>Py is prepared via hydride abstraction from the previously reported scandium hydride complex with <i>tris</i>-pentafluorophenyl borane. Exposure of [(B<sub>2</sub>Pz<sub>4</sub>Py)Sc][HB(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub>] to CO<sub>2</sub> immediately forms [(B<sub>2</sub>Pz<sub>4</sub>Py)Sc][HCOOB(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub>] at room temperature. The formatoborate complex can also be synthesized directly from the starting material (B<sub>2</sub>Pz<sub>4</sub>Py)ScCl with Et<sub>3</sub>SiH and B(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub> while in the presence of an atmosphere of CO<sub>2</sub> in 81% yield. This compound was evaluated as the transition metal component of a tandem deoxgenative CO<sub>2</sub> hydrosilation catalyst. At 5% loadings, complete consumption of Et<sub>3</sub>SiH was observed along with CO<sub>2</sub> reduction products, but conversion to an inactive scandium complex identified as (B<sub>2</sub>Pz<sub>4</sub>Py)ScOSiEt<sub>3</sub> was observed

MoClReacting [Mo(O)2(acac)2] (acac- = acetylacetonate) with the tetradentate thioether-thiol ligand 2,3,8.9-dibenzo-1,4,7,10-tetrathiadecane (dttd-H2) yields cis-[Mo(O)2(dttd)] ; this compound is reduced by PPh3 to give [MoO(dttd)], which is also obtained from [MoCl2(dttd)] and H2O. Depending upon the concentrations of the reactants [4(THF)2], CH3SC6H4SH and H2O , in THF the products [MoO(CH3SC6H4S)2] or [MoCl2(CH3SC6H4S)2] are formed. In the analogous reaction between [MoCl4(THF)2] and the pentadentate ligand 2,3,11,12-dibenzo- 1,4,7,10,13-pentathiatridecane (dpttd-H2) in THF/H2O. [MoO(dpttd)] is obtained exclusively. Due to their poor solubility, the Mo(IV)-oxo complexes show only limited reactivity only; with NO reductive nitrosylation to cis-Mo(NO)2 complexes is observed.

We report the use of electron rich iron complexes supported by a dianionic diborate pentadentate ligand system, B2Pz4Py, for the coordination and activation of ammonia (NH3) and hydrazine (NH2NH2). For ammonia, coordination to neutral (B2Pz4Py)Fe(II) or cationic [(B2Pz4Py)Fe(III)]+ platforms leads to well characterized ammine complexes from which hydrogen atoms or protons can be removed to generate, fleetingly, a proposed (B2Pz4Py)Fe(III)- NH2 complex (3Ar-NH2). DFT computations suggest a high degree of spin density on the amido ligand, giving it significant aminyl radical character. It rapidly traps the H atom abstracting agent 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenoxy radical (ArO•) to form a C-N bond in a fully characterized product (2Ar), or scavenges hydrogen atoms to return to the ammonia complex (B2Pz4Py)Fe(II)-NH3 (1ArNH3). Interestingly, when (B2Pz4Py)Fe(II) is reacted with NH2NH2, a fully characterized bridging diazene complex, 4Ar, is formed along with ammonia adduct 1Ar-NH3 as the spectroscopically observed (-78˚C) (B2Pz4Py)Fe(II)-NH2NH2-Fe(II)( B2Pz4Py) dimer (1Ar)2-NH2NH2 is allowed to warm to room temperature. Experimental and computational evidence is presented to suggest that (B2Pz4Py)Fe(II) induces reductive cleavage of the N-N bond in hydrazine to produce the Fe(III)-NH2 complex 3Ar-NH2, which abstracts H• atoms from (1Ar)2-NH2NH2 to generate the observed products. All of these transformations are relevant to proposed steps in the ammonia oxidation reaction, an important process for the use of nitrogen-based fuels enabled by abundant first row transition metals. <br>
