Abstract

Coop mode: The reaction of azobenzene with a redox-active bis(imino)pyridine vanadium dinitrogen complex resulted in N=N bond cleavage and formation of the bis(imido) derivative (see picture). Similar reactivity was observed with O ₂ and S ₈ to yield the analogous terminal bis(oxides) and bis(sulfides), respectively. Studies of the electronic structure of the vanadium products show that bond cleavage involves reducing equivalents from the metal and the ligands.
