Preparation and reactivity of molybdenum-dinitrogen complexes bearing an arsenic-containing ANA-type pincer ligand

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Oct 18;49(81):9290-2. doi: 10.1039/c3cc45228j.

Abstract

Novel mono- and dimolybdenum-dinitrogen complexes bearing an arsenic-containing ANA-type pincer ligand are prepared and characterized by X-ray analyses. These complexes afford a stoichiometric amount of ammonia by treatment with sulfuric acid at room temperature.
