Abstract

Photoinduced cleavage of the residual N-N bond in the dimetallahydrazone 1 (Mes=2,4,6-Me<sub>3</sub> C<sub>6</sub> H<sub>2</sub> ) led to a transient monomeric nitrido complex, which reacts further with 1 to form 2. Compound 1 was synthesized by the reductive arylation of MoCl<sub>4</sub> ⋅DME by MesMgBr under an N<sub>2</sub> atmosphere.
