title: C-N bond formation via ligand-induced nucleophilicity at a coordinated triamidoamine ligand.
abstract: Reaction of (N(3)N)ZrX complexes (X = amido, Cl(-), CH(3)(-)) with carbodiimide substrates results in insertion into an Zr-N bond of the triamidoamine ligand rather than the Zr-X bond as has been observed for related (N(3)N)ZrX complexes (X = PR(2)(-), AsR(2)(-)).
