Formation of Heterobimetallic Zirconium/Cobalt Diimido Complexes via a Four-Electron Transformation

The reactivity of the reduced heterobimetallic complex Zr( i PrNP i Pr2)3CoN2 (1) toward aryl azides was examined, revealing a four-electron redox transformation to afford unusual heterobimetallic zirconium/cobalt diimido complexes. In the case of p-tolyl azide, the diamagnetic C 3-symmetric bis(ter...

Summary:The reactivity of the reduced heterobimetallic complex Zr( i PrNP i Pr2)3CoN2 (1) toward aryl azides was examined, revealing a four-electron redox transformation to afford unusual heterobimetallic zirconium/cobalt diimido complexes. In the case of p-tolyl azide, the diamagnetic C 3-symmetric bis(terminal imido) complex 3 is formed, but mesityl azide instead leads to asymmetric complex 4 featuring a bridging imido fragment.
