Treatment of the Mo(IV) terminal imido complex, (η5-C5Me5)[N(Et)C(Ph)N(Et)]Mo(NSiMe3) (3), with a 1:2 mixture of iPrOH and Me3SiCl resulted in the rapid formation of the Mo(IV) dichloride, (η5-C5Me5)[N(Et)C(Ph)N(Et)]MoCl2(1), and the generation of 1 equiv each of HN(SiMe3)2and iPrOSiMe3. Similarly, a 1:2 mixture of Me3SiOH and Me3SiCl provided1, HN(SiMe3)2, and O(SiMe3)2. Finally, silica gel, when coupled with excess equivalents of Me3SiCl, was also effectively used as the XOH reagent for the generation of1and HN(SiMe3)2. A proposed mechanism for the3→1transformation involves formal addition of HCl across the MoN imido bond through initial hydrogen-bonding between XOH and the N-atom of3to form the adductIIIb, followed by chloride delivery from Me3SiCl to the metal center via a six-membered transition state (IV) that leads to the intermediate, (η5-C5Me5)[N(Et)C(Ph)N(Et)]Mo(Cl)(NHSiMe3) (V), and XOSiMe3as a co-product. Metathetical exchange of the new Mo–N amido bond ofVby a second equivalent of Me3SiCl then generates1and HN(SiMe3). These results serve to complete a highly efficient chemical cycle for nitrogen fixation that is mediated by a set of well-characterized transition-metal complexes.
