title: Putting chromium on the map for N2 reduction: production of hydrazine and ammonia. A study of cis-M(N2)2 (M = Cr, Mo, W) bis(diphosphine) complexes.
abstract: The first complete structurally and spectroscopically characterized series of isostructural Group 6 N2 complexes is reported. Protonolysis experiments on cis-[M(N2)2(P(Et)N(R)P(Et))2] (M = Cr, Mo, W; R = 2,6-difluorobenzyl) reveal that only Cr affords N2H5(+) and NH4(+) from the reduction of the N2 ligands.
