Reaction of the bis-aminopyridine dianion {[2,6-[2,6-(i-Pr)2PhN-C=(CH2)]2(C5H3N)]Li(THF)}{Li(THF)4} with CoCl2(THF)1.5 under Ar afforded the dinuclear complex {[2,6-(i-Pr)2PhN-C=(CH2)](C5H3N)[2,6-(i-Pr)2PhN=C(CH2)]}2[Co(µ-Cl)Li(THF)3]2·4(THF) (1) in which the ligand is coupled to a second identical unit at a terminal methylene carbon. In turn, the C—C bond formation caused reduction of the Co(II) center to the monovalent state. The same reaction performed under a nitrogen atmosphere afforded the double dinitrogen complex {[2,6-(i-Pr)2PhN-C=(CH2)](C5H3N)[2,6-(i-Pr)2PhN=C(CH2)]}2[Co(N2)]2·2(toluene) (2). Key words: low-valent Co, diiminopyridinato, dinitrogen fixation.

Reaction of petroleum ether solutions of [(dtbpe)Ni]2(η2,µ-C6H6) (1, dtbpe = 1,2-bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ethane) with triphenylphosphine under a dinitrogen atmosphere gives the Ni(0) dinitrogen adduct (dtbpe)Ni(N2)(PPh3) (2), which can be isolated as dark red crystals in 87% yield. The X-ray crystal structure of 2 reveals pseudotetrahedral geometry about Ni and a terminal dinitrogen ligand with Ni—N(1) = 1.830(2) Å, N(1)—N(2) = 1.112(2) Å, and Ni-N(1)-N(2) = 177.5(2)°. Key words: dinitrogen, nickel, X-ray.

Although the first crystallographically characterized lanthanide dinitrogen complex was reported in 1988 with samarium, it is only in recent years that this field has expanded to include fully characterized examples for the entire series of lanthanides. The development of lanthanide dinitrogen chemistry has been aided by a series of unexpected results that present some good lessons in the development of science. This review presents a chronological account of the lanthanide dinitrogen chemistry discovered in our laboratory through the summer of 2004.Key words: lanthanides, dinitrogen, reduction, alkali metal, nitrogen fixation, diazenido.

Reaction of phenylacetylene with the dinuclear tetrahydride complex ([NPN]Ta)2(µ-H)4 gives the product ([NPN]Ta)2(µ-PhCCH)(µ-H)2 (where NPN is PhP(CH2SiMe2NPh)2). Activation of other terminal alkynes by ([NPN]Ta)2(µ-H)4 accesses ([NPN]Ta)2(µ-RCCH)(µ-H)2 (R = n-Pr, t-Bu). Crystallographic analysis of the R = Ph derivative showed it to be a bis(µ-alkylidene) bound asymmetrically to the two tantalum centres. Storage of solutions of ([NPN]Ta)2(µ-PhCCH)(µ-H)2 under vacuum promotes the loss of H2 and cleavage of the C—C bond to give a bis(µ-alkylidyne) complex, ([NPN]Ta)2(µ-CPh)(µ-CH). Addition of diphenylacetylene did not give the desired ([NPN]Ta)2(µ-CPh)2, but rather promotes a complex decomposition of the supporting [NPN] ligands. Reaction of phenylacetylene with the dinitrogen complex ([NPN]Ta)2(µ-η1:η2-N2)(µ-H)2 results in the dissociation of the bound dinitrogen and the formation of ([NPN]Ta)2(µ-PhCCH)(µ-H)2, which is identical to that derived from the reaction with the dinuclear tetrahydride. Key words: tantalum, alkyne, alkylidene, alkylidyne, amidodiphosphine, dinuclear hydride dinitrogen, activation of small molecules.
