title: Molybdenum dinitrogen complexes supported by a silicon-centred tripod ligand and dppm or dmpm: tuning the activation of N2.
abstract: Two molybdenum dinitrogen complexes with a novel pentaphosphine environment have been synthesised and structurally characterised. A combination of the tripodal alkylphosphine ligand tris(dimethylphosphinomethyl)methylsilane (SiP3) and the coligands dppm/dmpm has been employed to tune the activation of the N2 ligand.
