The reactions of selected aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates with Fe(CO)3(PR3)2, [Fe(mnt)2]−, [Fe(cystH)2]2+, and [Fe(CO)2(cyst)2] (mnt = S2C2(CN)2, cyst = SCH2CH(NH2)CO2H ) result in abstraction of the ligand to yield arenediazophosphonium ions, S-(arenediazo)cysteine or the dinitrogen extrusion product ArS(CN)C=C(CN)SAr. Arylazo complexes of iron were not obtained. The products have been characterized and compounds related to S-(arenediazo)cysteine, namely S-(arenediazo)triphenylmethyl mercaptan and S-(arenediazo)sulfones, have been synthesized for a detailed comparison of their Raman spectra. Assignments of ν(N=N) are made on the basis of 15N- and 2H-substitution experiments. The possible involvement of nucleophilic sulfur as a site for the activation and or reduction of complexed dinitrogen in biological nitrogen fixation is proposed.

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.
