We report ammonia oxidation by homolytic cleavage of all three H atoms from a [Mo-NH] complex using the 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenoxyl radical to yield a Mo-alkylimido ([Mo═NR]) complex (R = 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-one). Chemical reduction of [Mo═NR] generates a terminal Mo≡N nitride complex upon N-C bond cleavage, and a [Mo═NH] complex is formed by protonation of the nitride. Computational analysis describes the energetic profile for the stepwise removal of three H atoms from [Mo-NH] and formation of [Mo═NR].
我们报告了使用 2,4,6-三特丁基苯氧自由基使 [Mo-NH] 配合物中的所有三个 H 原子均发生均裂,从而实现氨氧化,生成 Mo-烷基亚氨基 ([Mo═NR]) 配合物(R = 2,4,6-三特丁基环己-2,5-二烯-1-酮)。[Mo═NR] 的化学还原在 N-C 键断裂时生成末端 Mo≡N 氮化物配合物,并且通过氮化物的质子化形成 [Mo═NH] 配合物。计算分析描述了从 [Mo-NH] 逐步去除三个 H 原子并形成 [Mo═NR] 的能量分布。
