Abstract

We report ammonia oxidation by homolytic cleavage of all three H atoms from a [Mo-NH₃]⁺ complex using the 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenoxyl radical to yield a Mo-alkylimido ([MoNR]⁺) complex (R = 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-one). Chemical reduction of [MoNR]⁺ generates a terminal MoN nitride complex upon N-C bond cleavage, and a [MoNH]⁺ complex is formed by protonation of the nitride. Computational analysis describes the energetic profile for the stepwise removal of three H atoms from [Mo-NH₃]⁺ and formation of [MoNR]⁺
