Abstract
Dinitrogen, hydride, carbonyl, and isocyanide complexes of Mo0 and W0 can be electrosynthesised from the molecular substrates N2, H2, etc. and precursors trans-[MX2(Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)2](M = MO; X = Cl, Br, I, SPh, or SBun; M = W; X = Cl), [MoH2Cl2(Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)2], or from MoCl5 and Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2. Intermediates, mechanisms, and energetics associated with the electrosyntheses are described.
