The cooperative binding of N-2 by late transition and main-group metals is a promising strategy for N-N bond weakening and activation. We report the use of activated Rieke magnesium for the reduction of iron and cobalt complexes supported by bulky -diketiminate ligands. The binding of N-2 is accompanied by the assembly of a linear M-NN-Mg-NN-M (M = Co, Fe) core with weakened N-N bonds, as judged by infrared spectroscopy. Both the cobalt and iron complexes require tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent, because of Mg-THF binding. The cobalt complex can be isolated as a pure solid, but the iron complex is stable only in solution. These results demonstrate the correlation between the binding mode and N-N weakening in heterobimetallic N-2 complexes.
