Our currently limited understanding of the mechanism of biological dinitrogen fixation [1]–ie the reduction of N2 to two equivalents of ammonia by addition of protons and electrons–motivates a sustained effort towards the preparation of functional models of the nitrogenase MoFe-cofactor. One plausible mechanism for N2 reduction is a so-called distal or Chatt-type cycle [2], in which three hydrogen-atom equivalents are successively added to the distal N-atom of a metal-bound dinitrogen molecule (M–N≡ N), resulting in the elimination of one equivalent of NH3 to yield an intermediate nitrido complex (M≡ N). The latter is in turn converted to ammonia by reaction with three additional protons and electrons. Indeed, such a cycle has been suggested as operative for a mononuclear, molybdenum-based catalyst.[3] The increasing evidence for substrate coordination at iron in the MoFe cofactor [1b] warrants the continued investigation of iron-based models in a related context.[4]A Chatt-type cycle at an iron center would require a single ligand scaffold to stabilize lowvalent complexes with a π-acidic dinitrogen molecule as well as high valent complexes with a π-basic nitride ligand. Our group has investigated this chemistry in two different ligandimposed geometries that model the local trigonal symmetry of the coordination environment of iron in the MoFe cofactor. The pseudotetrahedral geometry has been successfully used to stabilize terminal imide [5, 6] and nitride [7, 8] ligands because the π-antibonding d-orbitals of e parentage are usually empty, but most of the N2 complexes in this geometry are dinuclear, bridged species rather than terminal ones due to the difficulty of implementing sufficient steric protection.[9, 10] On the other hand, the trigonal-bipyramidal geometry enforced by tetradentate tris (phosphino) silyl ligands has been shown to stabilize terminal N2 complexes
