The trianionic hydrazido radical (N 2 )
3‒ : a promising functionality in
N 2 chemistry? Rolando Aguilar, Junnian Wei and Zhenfeng Xi Peking University, China
In molecular systems, the electrophilic derivatization of transition metal-coordinated dinitrogen (TM–N 2 ) is arguably the most utilized tactic for the functionalization of nitrogen gas. The prominence of this approach is due to the inbuilt nucleophilic character of coordinated N 2 ligands which naturally incents electrophilic pairing reactions. The rare earth elements, however, are known to activate N 2 into trianionic hydrazido radical species (N 2 ) 3‒ whose reactivity profile might enclose odd electron chemistry. In this poster, we show computational studies for a N‒C bond formation step mediated by a previously reported scandium-(N 2 ) 3– complex and propose radical pairing reactions for the functionalization of coordinated N 2 .
