Abstract
The alkylation of a nitride ligand of a post-modified Mo(V) complex was achieved with MeOTf (1a) and EtOTf (2a), respectively. However, different from the known Mo(VI) nitride complexes where the alkyl group can be deprotonated by strong bases to form a ketimide for the next progressive reactions leading to nitrile, 1a and 2a can only be reduced to highly stable Mo(IV) imido complexes by NaH. Upon treatment with fresh PhCH2OTf, a new dinuclear Mo complex was isolated with N2 release, instead of benzylation of the nitride ligand.
