Abstract
Nitrogen-15 chemical shifts and coupling constants are reported for terminal dinitrogen complexes of Mo, W, Re Fe, Ru, Os, and Rh. The nitrogen shielding shows a periodic variation with the central metal, increasing with increasing atomic number of the metal across the transition-metal series, or down a particular group, the increase being steeper for the metal-bound nitrogen Nα than for Nβ. For complexes of metals later in the series Nα is more shielded than is Nβ, but there appears to be a crossover at molybdenum, and possibly at or near tungsten. The 15N shifts show evidence of interaction of adjacent dinitrogen ligands. The majority of compounds have phosphine co-ligands and their 31P chemical shifts show a smaller sensitivity to change of the central metal (about half to three-quarters of that of the 15N shifts) and also show chelate effects. The preparation, n.m.r. and redox properties of the new complexes trans-[M(N2)2(depe)(dppe)](M = Mo or W; depe = Et2PCH2CH2PEt2, dppe = Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2) are reported.
