Abstract
The alkylation reactions of co-ordinated N2 in [M(N2)2(dppe)2](M = Mo or W; dppe = Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2) proceed via a rate-controlling loss of one dinitrogen ligand, co-ordination of alkyl halide, homolytic splitting of the carbon–halogen bond, and attack of the carboncentred free radical upon the remaining dinitrogen ligand.Keywords
