Abstract

We report a rare example of a Cr-N₂ complex supported by a 16-membered phosphorus macrocycle containing pendant amine bases. Reactivity with acid afforded hydrazinium and ammonium, representing the first example of N₂ reduction by a Cr-N₂ complex. Computational analysis examined the thermodynamically favored protonation steps of N₂ reduction with Cr leading to the formation of hydrazine.
