Nitrogen Reduction to Ammonia by a Phosphorus-Nitrogen PN3P-Mo(Ⅴ)Nitride Complex:Significant Enhancement via Ligand Postmodification

Efforts to develop organometallic complexes for cat-alytic nitrogen reduction have seen significant prog-ress in recent years.However,the strategies for improving the activity of the homogenous catalysts have mainly focused on alternating ligands and metals.Herein,we report that the activity and stability of a PN3P-Mo pincer complex(2)toward dinitrogen(N2)reduction were greatly enhanced through post-modification of the PN3P pincer framework of its parent complex(1).A high ratio of NH3/Mo(3525)was achieved in the presence of Sml2 as a reductant.In sharp contrast,1 only afforded an NH3/Mo ratio of 21.Moreover,when supported by an anionic pincer ligand,2 furnished a high oxidation state Mo(Ⅴ)-nitride complex via N2 cleavage as a plausible key intermediate in the catalytic process,suggesting a catalytic cycle that may involve different oxidation states(Ⅱ/Ⅴ)from those with 10-n electron configura-tion in the literature.
