| Popis: | Hemilabile tris(tert-butoxy)silanolate ligands allow stabilizing a mononuclear octahedral Mo(iii) complex without quenching its reactivity towards small molecules (N2, CO2, N2O). Coordinatively unsaturated Mo(iii) complexes have been identified as highly reactive species able to activate dinitrogen without the need for a sacrificial reducing agent. Here, we report a coordinatively saturated octahedral Mo(iii) complex stabilized by κ2-tris(tert-butoxy)silanolate ligands, which is yet highly reactive towards dinitrogen and small molecules. The combined high stability and activity are ascribed to the dual binding mode of the tris(tert-butoxy)silanolate ligands that allow unlocking a coordination site in the presence of reactive small molecules to promote their activation at low temperatures. |
