title: Influence of redox non-innocent phenylenediamido ligands on chromium imido hydrogen-atom abstraction reactivity.
abstract: Paramagnetic CpCr[(RN)2C6H4] compounds (R = SiMe3, CH2CMe3 and Ph) were treated with R'N3 azides to generate chromium imido complexes, CpCr[(RN)2C6H4](NR'), with R' = adamantyl, aryl or SO2Ar. The H-atom abstraction reactivity of the imido complexes differed as the R and R' substituents were varied.
