Abstract
Despite the critical role Ru and Os complexes have played in the development of transition metal dinitrogen chemistry, they have not been shown to mediate catalytic N_2-to-NH_3 conversion (N_2RR), nor have M-N_xH_y complexes been derived from protonation of their M-N_2 precursors. To help delineate factors for N_2RR catalysis, we report on isostructural tris(phosphino)silyl Ru and Os complexes that mediate catalytic N_2RR, and compare their activities with an isostructural Fe complex. The Os system is most active, and liberates more than 120 equiv NH_3 per Os center in a single batch experiment using Cp*_2Co and [H_2NPh_2][OTf] as reductant and acid source. Isostructural Ru and Fe complexes generate little NH_3 under the same conditions. Protonation of Os-N_2– affords a structurally characterized Os=NNH_2+ hydrazido species that mediates NH_3 generation, suggesting it is a plausible intermediate of the catalysis. Inactive Os hydrides are characterized that form during catalysis.
