The oxadiazolyldiazenido(1-) ligand: a remarkably versatile platform for the synthesis of heteropolynuclear transition metal complexes.
Cyclo-condensation of aroyl hydrazides with the cationic tungsten-dichlorodiazomethane complex [BrW(dppe)2(N2CCl2)]+ affords neutral oxadiazolyldiazenido(1-) complexes which react readily with a wide range of transition and non-transition metal species to afford a novel series of crystallographically-characterised heteropolynuclear complexes containing bridging oxadiazolyldiazenido(1-) ligands.
