title: A dinuclear nickel(I) dinitrogen complex and its reduction in single-electron steps.
abstract: Electron by electron: Beta-diketiminato nickel(I) complex fragments are capable of activating N(2) through coordination. The resulting complex can be reduced in two single-electron steps, which further activates the N-N bond. The picture shows the structure of the singly reduced complex with mu-eta(1):eta(1)-bound N(2).
