Hetero-bimetallic dinitrogen activation: X-ray structure of the (Me3P)3CoN2AlMe2 dimer
Abstract
Dinitrogen forms a push–pull stabilized double bond [125.2(6) pm] when one end is bound to an electron-rich cobalt complex and the other end is part of an N2Al2 ring in the (Me3P)3 CoN2AlMe2 dimer, the structure of which has been found by X-ray crystallography.
