An isolable, metastable, geometrically unique manganese(iv) trihydrazide complex poised for reactivity

Abstract

A metastable Mn(IV) tris(N,N′)diphenylhydrazide complex, Li2Mn(κ2-N2Ph2)3 (1) has been prepared, and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and spectroscopic techniques. Mn precursors are reacted with LiNHtBu to form an intermediate manganese-imido mixture, which reacts with N,N′-diphenylhydrazine, oxidizing the metal, and forming 1. Despite ease of formation, 1 is poised for reactivity, as loss of ether ligand triggers reductive elimination of azobenzene.
