	abstract = {Molecular nitrogen is intrinsically unreactive, so much so that it has confounded chemists for decades in attempts to functionalize this abundant diatomic molecule. While biological systems and industrial processes can fix nitrogen to form ammonia, the challenge is to discover a process that involves a homogeneous catalyst that can utilize N-2 as a feedstock to generate higher value organonitrogen materials. In this review, the activation of molecular nitrogen by transition metal complexes is reviewed with the view to present new kinds of transformations for coordinated dinitrogen. Moreover, some reaction types that are as yet unknown are outlined to try and stimulate further research in this area. (C) 2003 The Japan Chemical Journal Forum and Wiley Periodicals, Inc.},

	abstract = {The reduction of [P2N2]NbCl (where [P2N2] = PhP(CH2SiMe2NSiMe2CH2)(2)PPh) with KC8 under a dinitrogen atmosphere generates the paramagnetic dinuclear dinitrogen complex ([P2N2]Nb)(2)(mu-N-2) (2). Complex 2 has been characterized crystallographically and by EPR spectroscopy. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate that 2 displays antiferromagnetic coupling between two Nb(IV) (d(1)) centers. A density functional theory calculation on the model complex [(PH3)(2)(NH2)(2)Nb](2)(mu-N-2) was performed. Thermolysis of ([P2N2]Nb)(2)(mu-N-2) in toluene generates the paramagnetic bridging nitride species where one N atom of the dinitrogen ligand inserts into the macrocycle backbone to form [P2N2]Nb(mu-N)Nb[PN3] (3) (where [PN3] = PhPMe(CHSiMe2NSiMe2CH2P(Ph)CH2SiMe2NSiMe2N)). Complex 3 has been characterized in the solid state as well as by variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements. The reaction of ([P2N2]Nb)(2)(mu-N-2) with phenylacetylene displaces the dinitrogen fragment to generate a paramagnetic eta(2)-alkyne complex, [P2N2]Nb(eta(2)-HCCPh) (4).},
