We report the first example of a µ-η1:η1-N2 dinuclear RuII complex with a polyamine ligand and elucidate the structure by means of X-ray analysis. The N≡N stretching vibration has been observed at 1994 cm−1 by Raman spectroscopy, which is the lowest value of all the known N2-coordinated RuII complexes. This low value strongly suggests the N≡N bond is primed for activation.
We report the first example of a Ni0 precursor that provides a contamination-free (<1%) nickel film by metal–organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using N2 as the carrier gas. The structure and physical properties of the Ni0 precursor and subsequent film are described.
We report the synthesis of mononuclear nonheme manganese(V)–oxo complexes in aqueous acetonitrile solution from the reaction of manganese(III) complexes using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant for the first time. A crystal structure of chloro derivative of manganese(V)–oxo complex and its reactivity toward 3,5-di-tert-butyl-catechol are also reported.
