A series of rhenium complexes bearing a pyridine-based PNP-type pincer ligand are synthesized from rhenium phosphine complexes as precursors. A dinitrogen-bridged dirhenium complex bearing the PNP-type pincer ligands catalytically converts dinitrogen into ammonia in the reaction with KC<sub>8</sub> as a reductant and [HPCy<sub>3</sub>]BAr<sup>F</sup><sub>4</sub> (Cy = cyclohexyl, Ar<sup>F</sup> = 3,5-(CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub>) as a proton source at –78 °C to afford 8.4 equiv of ammonia based on the rhenium atom of the catalyst. The rhenium-dinitrogen complex also catalyzes silylation of dinitrogen in the reaction with KC<sub>8</sub> as a reductant and Me<sub>3</sub>SiCl as a silylating reagent under ambient reaction conditions to afford 11.3 equiv of tris(trimethylsilyl)amine based on the rhenium atom of the catalyst. These results demonstrate the first successful example of catalytic nitrogen fixation under mild reaction conditions by using rhenium-dinitrogen complexes as catalysts.

Nitrogen fixation is an outstanding process in which atmospheric molecular nitrogen is reduced to ammonia, which is easier to assimilate by the plants. Due to the challenge to understand the nitrogen fixation process in vivo conditions, biomimetic compounds have been synthesized to perform the reduction of nitrogen in softest environments than in the Haber process. Thus, the purpose of this work is the synthesis and characterization of new molybdenum complexes with polydentate nitrogenated ligands and the evaluation of those complexes as possible dinitrogen reductants.
