We also report electronic structure calculations that indicate possible reasons for this interesting phenomenon. Addition of organic azides to low-valent metal precursors is a well-precedented tactic for introducing the imido ligand into late transition metal complexes.[4, 6] We recently demonstrated that the diketiminate-supported dinitrogen complex [LMeFeNNFeLMe] is a source of the iron (I) fragment {LMeFe}(LMe= 2, 4-bis (2, 6-diisopropylphenylimino) pent-3-yl).[7] Addition of adamantyl azide (AdN3) to a blue solution of [LMeFeNNFeLMe] and 4-tert-butylpyridine (tBuPy, 2 equiv) gave effervescence and immediate formation of an orangered solution.[8] The 1H NMR and X-band EPR spectra of samples generated in this way are shown in Figure 1.The 1H NMR spectra of the solution display resonances for a paramagnetic complex containing only LMe, an adamantyl group, and perhaps tBuPy (Figure 1a). The NMR-active species is formed in about 70% yield. The X-band EPR spectrum (Figure1b) corresponds to an isolated Kramers doublet with geff= 6.12, 1.94, and 1.42. The EPR spectrum is reminiscent of a spin quartet and can be simulated as an S= 3/2 species with E/D= 0.33, gx= 1.94, gy= 2.20, and gz= 1.94. The temperature dependence of the signal shows that the ground Kramers doublet is well separated from the excited
